Let’s talk about conventional eggs vs. pasture-raised, organic eggs. There is a huge difference between the typical eggs at your grocery store and pasture-raised eggs. Conventional eggs aren’t highly regulated. Even the expiration date isn’t regulated, so they may sit on the shelf for months before you get them. However, one of the biggest issues we want to look at is what the chickens producing these eggs are fed. Chickens are meant to consume insects and worms. Instead, they’re fed GMO corn and soy. What’s really shocking is that there is another ingredient in common chicken feeds called animal byproducts or animal protein products. These animal protein products can include: • Feathers • Organs • Blood • Skin • Manure Even the vegetarian feeds are corn and soy—and it’s unnatural for chickens to consume grains alone. Many people think that the color of a yolk will tell you the health of an egg. However, synthetic dyes are sometimes used in chicken feeds to give the yolk a certain color.
