Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
In a move that I'm sure has animal rights activists everywhere celebrating, Burger King has announced that they are to begin purchasing a portion of their eggs and pork products from suppliers that do not keep their animals in cages or crates. In letters sent to PETA, BK outlined their new company supply guidelines. Ten percent of their pork already comes from suppliers who don't use sow gestation crates, and they plan to double that number by the end of 2007. They are also planning to source 2 percent of their egg purchases from hens that are not confined, a number they also plan to double by year end.
Though 2 percent may seem almost insignificant at first, Burger King's buying power could force more and more suppliers to switch to cage-free environments for their animals. Never wanting to be upstaged, I'm sure McDonald's and some of the other big names in fast food are likely to follow this example as well.

Obviously you have no clue how your pork is produced now. You should perhaps do your research first before you make uneducated assumptions. Imagine what they walk in, wallow in, chew on (each other in case you don't know and it is very clear that you don't), and contract from the waste, dead pigs, and rotting feed that they are caged with. People like you are the reason there hasn't been more progress in humane animal treatment.
