They didn't even look at the following "farm bill" or "food" bills/amendments which, according to Organic Consumer's Association would:

- Codify an agreement between egg producers and the Humane Society of the United States to increase the size of hen cages over the next 18 years and end the practice of depriving hens of food and water to increase egg production.
