Lee Kyung-sil's high-quality egg explanation is also inundated with criticism, and animal welfare is a problem



"Best quality" vs"Looking away from animal welfare"

Comedian Lee Kyung-sil explained the controversy over high-priced eggs and engaged in an additional war of words in the comments.

On the 19th, Lee Kyung-sil was criticized for selling eggs at a high price, saying, "In general, 15,000 won for 30 eggs for No. 4 is expensive, but the quality of the egg is far better than that of any egg on the market, and efforts have been made to be worth the price, research, and steady quality have been made."




He then emphasized that "We sincerely apologize for not being able to understand the consumer's mind" and that "HU quality units, not eggshell numbers, are the basis for selling prices in Woeran."

He argued that "freshness is the highest", and "No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 marked in the eggshell are breeding environments and have nothing to do with the quality rating of eggs.'

He added that chickens are supplied with expensive raw materials such as turmeric and winter herbs, and a lot of money is being invested in hygiene management and disease management on farms.




Finally, "I hope that only eggs 1.2 are good and that it is not unconditionally of low quality because it is No. 4, but that the quality difference can be large even in the breeding environment No. 4", he said, expressing the position of the existing company.

In response, some netizens said, `As a mother raising three children, no matter how good the quality is, I am not feeding them four times"Eggs of high quality are being fed more carefully, especially the children."Let's stress that this is exactly what " thinks. What I'm trying to say is that it's worth it. People who buy it every time and tell me it's good also judge it... I'm not necessarily asking you to buy it."

Another netizen responded, "The public values animal welfare more than the quality of eggs. This is because everyone knows that the eggs laid by chickens that end their lives without stepping on the ground once until they die in a cage smaller than one of the A4 species are eggshell number 4. Nutrition doesn't really matter. How much nutrition would I want for an egg in a world where there is so much to eat?" "However, in the hope that chickens will be a little comfortable, they know that the animal welfare egg is expensive, but they will endure it," he said. "People are angry because egg No. 4 grown in a cramped environment is sold at a similar price to egg No. 1, but I don't think you're making a statement in terms of nutrition by missing that point."




Earlier, on the 16th, Lee Kyung-sil promoted the purchase of 'e-lan' eggs through SNS. Although the egg in question is egg number 4, the price of 15,000 won based on 30 balls, which is more expensive than egg numbers 1 and 2, was controversial. Eggshell No. 4 is an egg laid by chickens raised in a narrow cage, which has been consistently controversial in terms of animal welfare due to its high stress. In general, the higher the egg angle number, the lower the price, but eggs No. 4 sold by Lee Kyung-sil formed a higher price range than eggs No. 1 and No. 2 for animal welfare.

Meanwhile, the egg company run by Lee Kyung-sil's son has currently removed all of its products from the online mall and has temporarily closed its site.
