Wegman's

[Guest guest]

i'm not 100% positive, but i thought this was something that was addressed

and reformed in mid-2007. i can't confirm or deny either way as the most

" current " information i could find was from last November and even then it's

the site you listed - i couldn't find confirmation *anywhere*. i've checked

every organization that i'm involved in (which is actually quite a few)

including peta/peta2 and there's nothing regarding Wegman's.

 

and i don't eat eggs. i gave them up as a child because i just don't like

them. i think they're gross. so i'm going to continue shopping there until i

can confirm differently. thanks for your concern though
