Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Today, Andronico's Market, a 9-store grocery chain based in the San Francisco Bay Area, has ended the sale of eggs from hens confined in wire battery cages, and all Andronico's stores are now exclusively selling cage-free eggs. Andronico's sells approximately 4.8 million eggs each year. Bill Andronico, president and CEO of Andronico's, stated, " We are proud of our switch away from battery cage eggs. This new policy furthers our commitment to social responsibility, including animal welfare. " Tune in to KPFA Radio 94.1 FM or listen online [ www.kpfa.org ] for news coverage of the Andronico's new egg policy tonight at 6 p.m. Don't forget to thank you both Andronico's and KPFA for taking action on this important issue: KPFA Radio Listener Comments: Phone - 510-848-6767 x 622 Online - http://www.kpfa.org/feedback Andronico's Market Customer Comments: Phone - 510-649-6759 Email - customerservice As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.
