Eggs




Do you ever think about where your egg and poultry production is coming from? Do you know what you're getting when you buy a dozen eggs at the grocery store? Do you think the quality or nutrition of an egg depends on how the chicken is treated?

How many eggs do you eat a week? Do you ever think about what you might be eating when you eat a store-bought egg?


Thanks for your time!

No I do not think I ever thought of that. No I do not know what I am getting at the grocery store. Yes I believe that the quality should because chickens are animals and animals should be treated fairly. I eat about a quarter of a dozen a week. no I never think about what I might be eating when I eat a store bought egg.

I do not like eggs. I do not think it is right that people just use chickens for food. granted they are easy and fast to reproduce. Poor chickens are just like any other animal but are more often used just for food.

I have never actually sat down and throught about where my food comes from. If I did I'm sure I wouldn't eat it. When I buy eggs, I never think about it, I only looked to see if some are cracked.

I dont eat very many eggs, but i cook a lot with eggs. And I never thought about what I was getting when I buy from the store. That will make me think the next time i buy from the store. I am sure it does matter on the quality of the chicken for the eggs to be good.

a store bought egg doesnt compare to a farm fresh egg. its fresher and more flavor. what depends on the quality of the egg is the chickens diet. if its fed well it will produce good quality eggs. what else do u use a chicken for besides food.(nothin) a chicken lays an egg no matter what, its a natural occuring thing. thats why we eat the eggs. also the store pasturizes the eggs for a couple weeks which lessens the quality of the egg.

Yeah i think about were my eggs come from and there out of the hens in the barn. and the quality is all in the feed and in the time that they sit in cold storage which makes the quality go down on.

I like eggs and i really dont pay attion to the color of the box of eggs that they come in, i just eat them. but if it becomes a health issue then i probley will have to think about paying more attion.

I just pick up my eggs at the good ole rantoul IGA. But hopefully they don't come from Moore Farms in Watseka because they do disturbing things to their chickens....

I know where that my eggs are coming from because my neighber raises chickens and I can get alot of them for free because he gets to many eggs and has to get rid af them. I also know how the chickens are taken care af because I have helped them with that.

Honestly, no I don't I just eat them. I mean a egg is a egg, no matter how you cook it or make it its still a egg

I eat 2 eggs everyday and have for years. I realize that going out in the backyard (hen-house) is much healthier for you and even taste better,but unfortunately most of us don't have that luxury. So I will continue to eat my eggs from the local IGA, if they haven't killed me yet, I don't guess they will :)
