I made breakfast this morning; egg, bacon and cheese burritos. I used three eggs from our chickens and three eggs that I bought at the store for about $5. They are the spendy ‘free range, organic’ ones. Quite a difference in the look of the eggs isn’t there. You can tell just from looking at them why eggs from your own chickens are so much healthier for you than the ones you buy at the store. Plus they also taste so much better, and they are fresh.

I never used to think about label like “organic” and “free range” – I just assumed they were more healthy. Until my 80-year old dad one day informed me to my horror “I’ve been reading about the free-range label. Apparently, you can call a chicken free range if their wire cage opens up onto a 2′x2′ gravel or concrete space. And it doesn’t matter what they feed them or if they give them drugs or hormones to call them free-range. Doesn’t sound very free range to me. You’re best off growing your own food.”
I also found out a few years ago while working with environmental engineers that Energy Star classification is more about buying the use of the name than anything else. Sad.
