Duff Goldman Uses Cage-Free Eggs For Charm City Cakes

Duff Goldman, star of Food Network’s “Ace of Cakes,” has made the announcement that he’s switching to cage-free eggs for his company, Charm City Cakes.
Goldman joins fellow celebrity chef Guy Fieri and dozens of national retailers and franchises like Quizno’s and Denny’s to source eggs from farms that don’t confine hens in cages so small, they aren’t even able to spread their wings. Cage-free hens have 2-3 times more space than caged hens.
“Charm City Cakes is pleased to have switched to only using cage-free eggs, which is a great way to improve animal welfare and meet our customers’ expectations for being socially responsible,” said Duff.
The state of California has already passed a law that requires all whole eggs used in the state to be cage-free by 2015.
While using cage-free eggs is a step toward more humane treatment of animals, it is not a cure-all to hen suffering.
According to the Humane Society of the United States, “Cage-free hens may not be able to go outside and, like caged hens, may have parts of their beaks cut off, but they can walk, spread their wings and lay their eggs in nests—all behaviors permanently denied to hens crammed into cages.”
For a real treat and a step even further against animal-cruelty, introduce your palate to eggless meals, such as a Tofu Scramble, meant to imitate scrambled eggs.
