Billboard Placement Fail April 23, 2009

Check out these amazing billboards that went up right next to each other—I bet McDonald's wasn't too thrilled.


Don't you just love it? How many people do you think will reconsider eating an Egg McMuffin after seeing these billboards?

The thing is, there are so many reasons to stop eating eggs. Here are just a few:
  • On egg factory farms, hens are kept in "battery cages", which are roughly 18 by 20 inches and hold five to 11 hens for their entire lives.
  • Male chicks are considered worthless to the egg industry, so every year millions are tossed into trash bags to suffocate or are thrown into high-speed grinders while they are still alive.
  • After two years, an egg-laying hen is considered "spent"—and guess what happens to her? Yup, she's shipped to slaughter—to be used for things like chicken noodle soup.
  • There are so many great egg alternatives! You can use applesauce, tofu, or bananas instead of eggs when you bake—tastier and cholesterol-free! And tofu scramble or tofu quiche? Delish!
What do you think of the juxtaposing billboards? Do you think it will make pro-lifers reconsider eating eggs?
