Yay for technology that makes the exploitation of animals even more fun!]]>Jul 31st 2006 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/31/inked-egg-shells-perfect-boiling/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/31/inked-egg-shells-perfect-boiling/NOW HOW DO you define the existance of an egg??????????]]>Jul 31st 2006 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/31/inked-egg-shells-perfect-boiling/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/31/inked-egg-shells-perfect-boiling/you know some of those chicken are treated rather fair :)
there's nothing against a hardboiled egg for breakfast!]]>Jul 31st 2006 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/31/inked-egg-shells-perfect-boiling/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/31/inked-egg-shells-perfect-boiling/
There are plenty of free range chicken farms in the US, that DON'T feed chickens meat, and DON'T stuff thousands of chickens in small cages.

@ thedvs01

Why don't you try learning what happens to the chickens you eat before replying with such a comment.

They are boiled alive, have their beaks cut of to facilitate forced feeding, fed growth hormones that make them grow so fast their bones break, stuffed into cages barely larger than the chicken itself, fed ground up chicken meal (think about how "mad cow" disease started, by feeding cows, well, cows)

KFC and many other restaurants should be ashamed of themselves for condoning this type of activity.]]>Jul 31st 2006 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/31/inked-egg-shells-perfect-boiling/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/31/inked-egg-shells-perfect-boiling/

That being said, I love eggs and meat. Just don't tell me where they come from.]]>Jul 31st 2006 4:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/31/inked-egg-shells-perfect-boiling/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/31/inked-egg-shells-perfect-boiling/

Soooo on topic... this "logo" goes through different changes while its cooking??? I think thats pretty damn awesome. Another one of those "dammit I wish I thought of that" ideas.

This gives me an idea, though... chickens that lay already hard-boiled eggs.

@my_name_is_tudor - No, Lion eggs don't have to eb free range, just meeet production criteria and standards

@Rich UK - Not quite an agency (the FSA (Food Standards Agency) is quite seperate. Lion is a trade body.

@Gene Holman - The Lion logo has been on UK eggs for years - it acts as a 'quality mark'. It's usually stamped on dot-matric style in red ink along with a best before date.

@Jacob - Animal cruelty and Food Standards laws in the UK prohibit that kind of behaviour.

Lord, I never knew a Food GCSE would acutally come in useful!!!

Um...when I was there in 1998, I saw a news report bemoaning the high rates of salmonella...and then went to the grocery store and saw stacks of *unrefrigerated* egg cartons. Unless that's been fixed, sticking a logo and an expiration date on the egg is like expecting a rad meter to protect you from a nuclear blast.]]>Jul 31st 2006 9:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/31/inked-egg-shells-perfect-boiling/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/31/inked-egg-shells-perfect-boiling/

what does the republican party have to do with being for or against animal cruelty? last i chedk g. gordon liddy was a pretty staunch anti-cruelty advocate and he isn't exactly what i would call a bleeding heart liberal democrat.

stop acting like every ethical or moral viewpoint can somehow be shoved into a little binary classification where you can only agree with others in that group. in the real world no one actually has insanely bifurcated views. the only people that don't think you can mix and match are idiots. or in high school.]]>Jul 31st 2006 10:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/31/inked-egg-shells-perfect-boiling/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/31/inked-egg-shells-perfect-boiling/
It seems that you can only get eggs with one indicator on them - so you can buy eggs which tell you when they're soft-boiled, but they'll not tell you when they become hard boiled (you have to buy different eggs for that) which is a bit daft.

Also, nit-picking but Lion Quality is a sort of quality assurance thing rather than a company. They're responsible for pro-egg propaganda on the UK airwaves. "If you don't eat eggs, you're a communist". I'm kidding about that last part, BTW. They just do recipie ideas as adverts.]]>Aug 1st 2006 4:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/07/31/inked-egg-shells-perfect-boiling/http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/31/inked-egg-shells-perfect-boiling/Bryan Jackson...

How about buying free-range for selfish reasons, like them tasting better? Mmmm, tasty chicken.

Call me names if you want, but I would feel bad standing on an ant on purpose. It's got as much right to life as me.

There ya go. Thats also a great idea.

I wonder if the dye turns back to the original (soft) once its been refrigerated for awhile? You know hot to cold. I personally don't like hard boiled eggs hot, just cold and mashed, salt n pepper. mmm...

I work in grocery retail and the thing that bothers me is every nite the chickens that are roasted (ready to eat) that don't get bought that day are thrown away. The lived and died for nothing. They could have somehow give them to homeless people, or reprocess them for other foods, or something.
I'm sure that thermocromatic ink should have other uses.
