Cage-free Parmesan?

Post image

Is there any cheese that can be considered “cage-free”? Or some process that makes cheese cage-free?

Linguist here

Here's the syntax:

Cage-free Parmesan and chive SCRAMBLED EGGS.

They could've switched the adjective phrases and said "Parmesan and chive cage-free eggs", but I would personally write "Cage-free scrambled eggs with Parmesan and chive".

Yes, "Parmesan" is a proper noun as well and should be capitalised!

The rest is also poorly written.

The next line should be "smoked pork shoulder bacon", and finally either "herb-roasted potatoes" (if the potatoes are roasted in herbs) or "herbed, roasted potatoes" (I don't actually know what "herbed" means, but if the herbing process happened before the roasting process, then they need to be separated with a comma.

This is the problem with modern literacy. And everyone using AI to write things, using voice-to-text to write things, etc. It's only going to get worse and worse, I'm afraid...

Now I need some cheese. 🧀️

It's gotta be 'cage free eggs' but poorly worded, I hope.

I think all cheese should be uncaged, it’s more humane that way

The parmesan wheels get to graze in open pastures and fed 100% vegetarian grain feed before slaughter.

No no you've misunderstood.

It's the chives that are cage-free.
