We've been forced to buy eggs from Trader Joe's. Our chicken stopped laying after they were moved here to Portland area. Next week, we will be letting them out into our yard in a chicken run.

Our chicken gives us eggs which are simply eggier than store bought ones. Even the organic Omega-3 ++, free range ... eggs don't compare to the eggs from our chicken. They love to eat worms, grubs, earwigs digging through the compost pile looking for pill bugs. All that turns into very tasty eggier eggs.

Store bought one just falls flat!!

Do what the French do, go for quality not volume. Two store bought eggs don't do a thing for me but one of our own eggs satiate my hunger. Our heirloom tomato is not only tasty but satisfy my hunger. Store bought one does not.

When our expenses are figured in, our eggs cost more than $3.00 dozen but we don't have to eat the whole dozen to feel good. Smaller portion but higher quality.

Our omlettes have a rich deep yellow color not the pale whitish yelllow tinge. You can taste the difference.

Point of contention for many organic vs concentrated animal feed lot operation is that yes the "commercially" grown food can be had for less than 1/2 the cost of organic but you will be paying on the back end with increased health care cost. I haven't seen a definitive research to say one way or the other.

Our birds also get flax seed in their feed.

Another thing to think about. LDL is a precursor to most of the hromones and other chemicals in our body. If you stress out, your body will be generating lot more LDLs. Just because you eat LDL doesn't mean that it goes directly into your blood stream.
LDL would have to survive the strong acids in your stomach then must survive another corrosive environment in your intestine/colon and to be absorbed intact. I don't think that happens. Food LDL into body LDL is just too simplistic and nieve view. Just my 2cents.

We buy organic free range hromone free eggs.
