Why does the equator receives more of the suns energy?

The light at the equator hits the earth perpendicular to the surface to the earth. The further you are from the equator, the light comes in at an angle closer and closer to parallel. The closer to parallel the light comes in at, the more of it is reflected, so it receives less energy than the perpendicular light at the equator.

What are the ethics behind egg production augment?

Battery chickens, the chickens used in egg production, are kept in battery cages. These are tiny cages with very little room for the chicken. They are kept in conditions that would shock most people who eat their eggs. Bright, artificial lights are used to simulate daylight, to make them lay more than they would in natural conditions. They can barely move in their cages, are kept separate from other chickens, and do not have freedom or any kind of natural conditions to live in. Free-range eggs are eggs from free-range chickens, chickens kept in natural conditions- normal lighting, better food, and room to move around. While battery chickens produce more eggs per chicken with less room, the chickens themselves need better care than that, or so many people think.
