Many years ago, on 60 Minutes, there was an investigative report on the horrific conditions within the egg producing industry. It was alarming how cruel and inhumane it was. I began paying extra for organic, cage free eggs but then learned later it was not necessarily a humane farm. So it seems the only way to buy eggs that assures the chickens are treated humanely is organic pasture raised where chickens can roam free and forage for food in open fields. I’m fortunate that I can afford to pay higher prices. Eggs remain an amazing perfect food. Even with the higher price I feel eggs are still a bargain for the nutrition that they provide.
