Via bls at The Topmost Apple comes word of a Humane Society campaign to get religious people to replace eggs from battery hens with cage-free eggs or egg substitutes during the month of October. Great idea. St. Francis would be proud.

Be warned, though, that there are a lot of labels (organic, free-range, cage-free, certified humane, etc.) that mean different things and which may or may not have effective oversight and enforcement mechanisms. As it happens, the HSUS has a handy guide to these labels.
