Oh my gosh. Any idiots who think eating reproductive parts of sick, penned in, beak removed chickens is decent nourishment, go for it. Anyone who wishes to save a buck by eating from sick animals, have at it.

Even “free range” is bull. They still pen in the chickens so tightly they can’t get to the tiny open door that exists to get that label of free range. It’s a scam. Their feed makes the eggs contaminated as well. These are sick birds. Smart humans wouldn’t eat from them, even if it is cheaper at the supermarket.

Food literally becomes you. Skimp on other things. Never on your sources of protein, unless you love neurological diseases and cancer.

Healthy eggs are pastured (organic feed preferable). Yes, they cost more. Sick, poorly fed animals are cheaper to eat. But healthy animals roaming in fields, eating bugs and bits of grass and rocks, along with decent feed, make the healthiest food on the planet — their eggs!

I refuse to eat healthy animals. I prefer sick ones.

Think about it.

Cougars, out in the wild, pick off the sick and the lame of a herd. In so doing, they eat, and the herd becomes stronger. They are actually HELPING the herd.

I have a cougar’s instinct.

Sick, poorly fed animals are cheaper to eat.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry.

Spoken like a true naturolater. Ah, what did science ever do that you should hate it?

Apparently you have never heard of predators and bio security.

A few years back we began finding double and even triple yolks in many of our eggs. My wife researched it a bit and found that happens when layers are fed fertility drugs. We switched to Eggland's Best or any brand of organic eggs (whichever's on sale). We switched originally out of concern over hormones, but have since found that the eggs we eat taste better than the cheap ones.

Can't say as I care much whether the chicken's leading a full life.
