I'll chime in here. 'Free Range' doesn't really mean anything. It just basically means that they have "access" to sunlight. A small 1'x1' door at one end of a barn that leads to a tiny fenced in patch of dirt will suffice. Most hens can't even find the door to the outside area and they are often photographed without a single chicken in them.
The step up from 'Cage Free' is really 'Pasture Raised' which ensures that the hens are able to live as closely to their natural habitat as possible.
This image lays things out.
Vital Farms is a brand carried by most major grocery stores on the West Coast of the U.S. that does things the right way.

Actually, Veganism hasn't been found to be healthier than an omnivorous whole food diet, just the Standard American Diet (SAD). Eating cardboard and a multivitamin would probably be healthier than the SAD.
The ethical and environmental considerations remain valid.

Could you describe how it would work? I find suffocation to be up there with drowning in terms of ways I wouldn't want to die.
