Hospital Food Should be Healthy Food

Hospital Food Should be Healthy Food

The Issue

Many factory farms use battery cages that confine hens to a tiny space. Not only is this cruel, but it also encourages the spread of bacteria and disease. Battery cages have been linked to outbreaks of salmonella.

Recently, several hospitals have made commitments not to use eggs that came from hens in battery cages. It's time for more hospitals to make the same commitment.

Please write to the American Hospital Association, and tell them about the dangers of factory farmed eggs. Urge them to educate the hospitals and health service providers they represent about the health, environmental, and ethical benefits of cage-free eggs.
