Health, Taken Seriously

We have been fortunate enough to have access to some eggs from my mother’s friend.  She raises hens herself and they are pastured–meaning they eat a diet of greens and bugs and worms, like hens were intended to eat, rather than a diet of grains, something completely unnatural for a hen to eat.  I wish everyone could see and taste pastured eggs.  They are incredible.  Here is a picture of an organic, high omega-3 egg from Organic Valley on the left and a free-range, pastured, “happy chicken egg,” as we call them in our house, on the right.  Just take a look at that bright orange color!  For more about why pastured eggs are superior, see my recent post on animals products.
