I completely agree about that being an important fact. That is something I would very heavily advertise if I was in charge of the Wendy's adverstising section. Wendy's definitely does appear to be ahead of the game in some aspects of the game, but as it was noted in the articly I found they were not the first to move to partially cage-free eggs. Also, I do agree with you that every small step does matter to the consumer.

Although, it was a small step in only moving to 2% cage-free eggs it is a huge step in the long-run. In my opinion, it is unrealistic to expect any of the huge food chains such as Wendy's to make any more than a 10% change at any given time unless it is a decision that is sure to succeed and benefit the company. I feel that in the long-run it is very likely that Wendy's will end up making a much bigger change towards cage-free eggs, but that's only my personal opinion. I am not sure what the other companies transitioned to, but I am guessing that Wendy's attempted to make a similar transition to that of some of their competitors in the market.

This was an interesting decision by Wendy's to make a slow transition to cage-free eggs.  It appears to be a move to please people associated with the Humane Society, however, it is only 2%.  I understand that 2% for a large company like Wendy's is still fairly significant, but in the future I would like to see them make a more significant transition to cage-free eggs.  What I am interested in knowing is what percentage some of the other companies transitioned to?  As well, I would like to know if Wendy's has increased their purchasing of cage-free eggs.
