Free range chickens are not only happier chickens they produce eggs that are healthier to eat as reported below:
TOPEKA, KANSAS, Aug. 2 -/E-Wire/-- New research by Mother
Earth News magazine provides more evidence that industrial agriculture is
producing inferior food. Tests of eggs from four free-range flocks found
that, compared to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) nutrient data for
eggs from confinement production systems, the eggs from chickens raised on
free range were much more nutritious — up to twice as rich in vitamin E, up
to six times richer in beta carotene (a form of vitamin A) and four times
richer in essential omega-3 fatty acids. And, the free-range eggs averaged
only half as much cholesterol as the USDA data indicates for
confinement-system eggs.
Mother Earth News magazine, a leader of the "Real Food
Revival," initiated tests which were conducted by Skaggs Nutrition
Laboratory at Utah State University and Food Products Laboratory in
Portland, Ore.; data and graphs are available in the August/September 2005
issue of the magazine or at the Mother Earth News Web site, http://www.MotherEarthNews.com/eggs.
