Comcast bans EBAA's television ad on the Food Network

 

Citing concerns over 'viewer sensitivities', Comcast permanently

banned EBAA's Foster Facts television advertisements from airing

on the Food Network. Through the beginning of June 2007, the ad,

which displays truthful information about Foster Farms' actual

treatment of chickens, will air on The Learning Channel (TLC) and

Oxygen networks in addition to The Animal Planet.

 

Urge Foster Farms to improve conditions for birds and stop misleading

the public:

'Lunardi's Abuse' billboard & newspaper ad debut this week

 

Bragging about its support of battery cage egg production through

misleading brochures at store egg sections, Lunardi's Supermarket

just doesn't know when to stop. So, the Humane Society of the

United States this week erected a billboard about Lunardi's

support of animal abuse along Highway 101 in South San Francisco,

approximately 1/2 mile from the company's headquarters. In

addition, EBAA published a print advertisement in this week's

edition of the 'SF Weekly' about Lunardi's rotten egg policy.

California egg production lowest since 1958

 

Once the top ranking state in the United States for egg

production California has fallen, over the last ten years fallen

to fifth place. High-priced real estate and feed, together with

government regulations have been blamed for whittling away

California’s laying flock numbers, which numbered over 40 million

in the early 70’s.
