Farmer's market: I very nearly added "or send exactlyhalf" ;-)
Peta: Their propaganda was one of the reasons I stopped being a member of the vegan society.. one of the main things that annoys me about it is that it's so badly done and thinly dressed-up a lot of the time, and it seems that the vegan society takes it for granted that we're all staunch Peta supporters who want to distribute its pamphlets to all our friends. Grr.
Chickens: Thanks for the link! I'm probably thinking of the "barn"/"free range" distinction, though there do seem to be a few more nuances mentioned further down the page. Either they used to make barn eggs sound like something from a traditional farm-yard rather than bird-dense sheds, or I was a lot younger and more naive when I first encountered it, imagined something much more like my grandparents' old barn and chickens, all and felt all duped when I eventually read more :-P
Also, Merry '08! (Sorry I forgot about that bit in the first comment!)
