    Eggs aren't bad for you. Just ensure you get your cholesterol checked regularly. You may have high cholesterol naturally. Eating foods high in fibre will reduce this. I recommend organic free-range if they're readily available at your grocery store.

    you do realize the organic, free-range is a bunch of poo, right?

    In the case of eggs, organic and free range is not a bunch of poo. Have you ever been to an industrial hen house? Egg-laying hens are housed elbow to elbow in crates - crapping all over themselves and the eggs you'll eventually eat.

    Agreed. It's worth it for the ethical reasons alone for me.

    It is not worth it to me for the price reasons. I eat about 1-1/2 dozen eggs a week and I just cannot afford $3-$4 a dozen plus the gas to go out to the farm. I have to limit myself to the convenience store eggs which right now are $1.29 a dozen or, if it is an emergency, I will get the grocery store eggs which are $1.59 and abut a week older than the convenience store. My local natural foods store has organic for $2.29 a dozen but they are also less fresh than the convenience store.

    They taste better and its nicer knowing the chicken that laid it was allowed to run around and kept humanelt. The latter matters to some people and not others.

    I'm going to say this when I started at medical weight loss and from my doctor advice(who delivered me into this world yes I thank him) but anyways...eggs are good for you, if you watch you calories you should be fine I have them all the time sometimes 6(boiled or fried in olive oil) a day with my fruits if that's how I'm feeling...white or brown who knows best the farmers I love them...
