7 Food That Should NEVER Cross Your Lips

mrd232

I base the eggs off of these simple observations...and yes, I have actually spent some hard time at a commercial chicken farm. One of my friends owns one, actually. I don't have anything against the eggs and will eat them in restaurants and the homes of others, HOWEVER, my taste buds say "ha...these aren't as good, dude" (much to the immediate chagrin of my friend the chicken farmer who insists THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE...psssyah right)

1. Store bought eggs have a very light yellow yolk and less flavor. Shells are thin, easy to crack. Living condition of hens is that close to a factory. The hen may be protected from predators, but could also be in a very cramped quarter and prone to disease...unless there is the aid of antibiotic introduced in the feed. Eggs are sorted by some complicated (and pretty awesome) sorters, washers and the like. That's a one-up over the unclassified sorts, I suppose.

2. Eggs from the local farm free range, that is (free range: i.e. chickens are not fed some b/s "VEGETARIAN" soy diet and eat bugs and generally whatever the hell is laying about, this may include some small corn grains, but generally not a specialized soy feed AND chickens have some space to run about)... Eggs have a dark, vibrant flavorful yolk and have a nice, hard shell. These are typically sold as "Unclassified" and vary in shades of white, beige, brown (or even green!) shells. This shows a variety of hen types laid the eggs.

As for Omega 3 content and general nutrition of the eggs, I've read the cage free, free range variety contain a higher index of Omega 3. If the rich yolk is any indication, well then, I do certainly believe it.

Also keep in mind that different breeds of hens lay a different variety of eggs. Factory hens are bred to a specific lifespan and size, whereas free rangers can be of a more "fancy" (brown) variety.

Thanks for this. I was going to post something similar yesterday, but called off to do some work on an emergency and never logged back in to respond.

Also Where did you guys buy your air poppers? Just wondering. I think I'll prob check Target or order one online.

You should be able to get air poppers at any of the superstores (walmart, target, etc.). They'd be in with small appliances.
