Just from a brief lookup, Vital Farms seems pretty legit plus they have the Certified Humane label. But I like that their website lets you look at the particular farm on a live video feed! For example, link to where these eggs came from, Farmer Johnson’s farm🐓 I just loved to see the little ladies clucking around😊
I’ve been buying only Vital Farms eggs for a couple years now. During the most recent fabricated egg shortage, when the price of eggs skyrocketed, Vital Farms price didn’t change. At one point, I was paying less for my eggs than the other companies were charging.

Yes, but did prices go back down to the same as before? And did prices not change even after enough time had passed (plus some) to rebreed laying hens? It might have started as a true issue, but it isn’t now, just an opportunity to raise profit margins.

Alternately, birds not raised in circle of hell conditions get sick less.
But yes, factory egg farmers “learned” that their vile farming methods have future consequences for them, as well as present day awfulness.
Fair. It might not be fabricated, but it’s hardly an unexpected act of God, either.
It was very much a predictable expected disaster that the industry courted intentionally (by treating hens like roaches) while blindly chasing quarterly profit.
Maybe “fabricated” isn’t quite the right word, but “intentional”, “malicious”, “evil” and “bullshit” all fit fine.
