    FYI, “free-range,” “cage free,” and “grass fed” don’t actually mean anything. They can still be horribly abused in overcrowded barns. Look for “certified humane,” the leaping bunny symbol, or other symbols protected by humane organizations.

    Edit: in the US. Thanks for the clarifications

      Those terms have meaning the the FDA, they just don’t mean what most people think. Free range means no cages and access to outdoor area, usage or grazing isn’t required. Cage free, similarly just means no cages in the shelter, the chickens are still 100% indoors. Grass fed is no longer controlled.

        Steam and Epic are based in America, and I interpreted it in that context, as mentioning those warnings as a rebuttal to an American seems like it would be worth clarifying! I corrected my comment for clarity, but the chip on your shoulder is showing.
