Article #3

Iread the article "Backyard eggs vs. store-bought: They taste the same", by Haspel. It said exactly what the title suggests, that when it comes to eggs, home-grown are not any better than factory eggs. Happy chickens do not make tastier eggs than abused chickens who never see the light of day. The only factors that contribute to the taste of an egg is the chicken feed, and that only makes a difference if you feed the chicken something really strong tasting. Since most people feed chickens corn or soy, there is no discernible difference. The only difference between store-bought eggs and home-grown eggs is that you feel better about the home-grown ones. I think this article is really interesting, considering that it refutes the wide-spread fad of organic, home-grown health foods. I always eat store-bought eggs, and have no complaint, although I make a habit of not htinking about the condition of the chicken the eggs come from.
