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?Is there really a difference in nutrition between brown eggs or white eggs? Brown eggs usually cost more, but why?
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 through 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 don't 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 doesn't 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 don't ever think about eggs,I just buy them. I eat about 3 eggs a month.I do know that i use a lot of them in different thing. When i go into the store the only thing I think about is not getting one's that are broke or sticking to the carton.
I like eggs and i really don't pay attention 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 probably will have to think about paying more attention.

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....
--Chris Connor
I know where that my eggs are coming from because my neighbor raises chickens and I can get a lot of them for free because he gets to many eggs and has to get rid of them. I also know how the chickens are taken care of 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
--Tony Brown
I eat 2 eggs every day 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 :)

I REALLY DON'T THINK MUCH OF EGGS BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE EGGS.I DO KNOW THAT EGGS ARE GOOD FOR YOUR BODY BUT I'VE REALLY NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHERE THEY COME FROM OTHER THAN CHICKENS.
--Jelisa Walls
I have never thought about that. When I go to the store to buy eggs, I open the carton to make sure they are not broken, and I don't think about it again. We rarely use eggs, but when we do they are white. I honestly have no idea what the difference is between a brown and a white egg.
I don't really think about it that much because it isn't something that exactly crosses my mind. All I know is that eggs come from chickens. I think that the quality of the egg does count on how the chicken is treated. Even if it didn't I wouldn't want to buy eggs from a place that treats its chickens badly. I definetly do not know what the difference is between the white and brown eggs. I'll I know is the only egg that I have eaten is the white one and that I barely have eggs.

I personally know where my eggs and poultry produces are coming from because my family has their own chickens. We eat the eggs and chickens from the ones that we raise. I really don't know what people are buying when they buy from the grocery store. I do believe the quality depends on how the chicken is treated. I know a lot of chickens are just given steroids to make them grow faster so they are sent off to market faster too. I really don't think there is a nutritional difference in the brown and white eggs it all depends on what kind of chicken the egg came from. i don't know why brown eggs cost more my only guess would be that its because of the certain chicken it came from. i probably eat 2-4 eggs a week. I am sure when people eat eggs from the store they are eating a lot of steroids and other medicines that they don't want or need.

Honestly, there haven't been too many times when I actually thought about where my eggs come from. The only time I have thought about it was probably last semester when this same question came up. I know they come from chickens, and that's all I really need to know, right? When I buy a dozen eggs at the store I know that I'm about to eat good. That's all I really know, though. To me, all eggs are the same, as long as they aren't cracked, I'm going to buy them. Does the quality of the nutrition of the egg depend on how the chicken is treated? Now I'm curious. I've heard that brown eggs are better for you, but they cost more, so I don't mind sticking to the white eggs. Maybe, that's why they do cost more, they are more nutritionus. I eat eggs about 2 or 3 mornings a week. I don't like getting up early, so I usually never have time to make any.

I never think about where the eggs or poultry production is coming from. I don’t know what I’m getting at the store. I think that maybe if the chicken is treated well, the eggs may turn out better. I’m not sure about this but I suppose it could be a possibility. I’m not sure if there is a difference in nutrition between white and brown eggs but if there was, I’d say that white eggs have more nutrition. All the food that is bad for you usually always costs more while the healthy food is cheap. I would eat 0 eggs a week but I have recently started to eat raw eggs the days that I work out. I’ll say that I’ll probably be eating about 6 eggs a week.

I get my eggs from the grociey store. My grandma lives in Mexico and she just gets her eggs from her chickens. I do not know the difference in nutrition between brown or white eggs. In my opinion they both taste the same, even though my parents prefer the brown eggs sometimes. I’m not much of a fan for eggs so I eat eggs maybe 3 to 4 times a month, I wont eat the eggs from McDonalds or any other fast food restaurant because they make me sick. I think they get a box that they use to make eggs, I used to work their and I remember it was a yellow liquid pored into a grill or skillet and cooked till it looked like scrambled eggs. I couldn’t eat eggs for a few months.

I grew up on a farm that had chickens and there is a big difference between fresh and store bought. If I'm not mistaken brown eggs come from Rhode Island Red chickens. We used to have some. We also had a Chinese breed that is called a bantam. They are about half the size of a white laying hen. They lay very small eggs that make great eggs for an easter egg hunt. My mother use to order them through the mail from the hatchery. It always seemed a little odd to me that you could get a live animal in the mail. Anyway, fresh eggs are way better than store bought. Try some if you get the chance.

I have never sat down and really thought about where eggs come from. I mean who really does?? I don’t eat that many eggs, but I heard brown eggs are better than white eggs. A egg is a egg they all are pretty much the same.

I have never liked eggs since last year when I was hungover and ate the worst scrambled eggs of my life. Ever since then I have hated eggs and cant stand them. People should have the right to know where their eggs came from, and how they are managed before the get to the shelves of the stores.

i eat TONS of eggs a week. i love eggs bunches and bunches but never really thought about where they came from. i think that the nutrition of the chicken would directly affect the quality of the egg.

I have never real ever thought about were eggs come from. I think the way chickens are treated may have an effect on the kinds of eggs they will produce. I do eat eggs a least once a week. I like eggs and will continue to eat them. I really don't know what difference is in brown and white eggs, I have just always eaten white.
Anita Freeman
First off I would like to say that I think about this all the time and yet I still eat this stuff unconciously. You really need to read the book "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair. Its about the meat packing industry back in the early 20th century. They used to put so many chemicals into foods because there were no regulations. This book alone intorduced the creation of the FDA (Food and Drug Administration. The reason for the brown eggs to cost more is because they are the more natural than the bleached white eggs. Anything natural is more expensive then the processed product, and its mostly taxed more as well. I deffinatley preferre a grain fead chicken over a steroid injected chicken because of the unatural chemicals i would injest. Over all this always crosses my mind when I buy food.
--Jeremy Harding
for god sake it is 2010. I am not worried about the whole farming thing. I dont have the time to raise my own hens and collect their eggs every morning. I rather buy my eggs from the local grocery store.
Neli Aryani (10:00)
I love eggs but i never tasted the difference between white and brown. All i know is the brown are healthier and the chicken is raised with good food. I usually eat 6 eggs a week depending on if i am up to boiling them or cooking them. I dont really pick and choose when i buy but i do like to get the brown ones because i hear they are healthier.

No i do not think about that. To me a egg is a egg i just eat it. Kasha Topps
I get my eggs from the IGA. I do think about where my eggs are cooming from a little, but not that much.

I personally like fresh brown chicken eggs. they look prettier, taste better, and cook better. From asking you I found out it doesn't matter how you treat the birds as long as they are fed right and have light. I learned something new, because i honestly thought that if you did mistreat them they wouldn't lay eggs as well.
Apologies for my ignorance.. But no I haven't thought about in while ya kno where eggs come from. I used to make eggs nearly every morning but never dabbled long enough on the subject to form much of an opinion on the process that brought them to my skillet. Brown eggs sound less appealing, but that's typical judgement. After reading the other comments it seems few people really know much about eggs... Now that I'm older I do know I eat eggs not as much as I eat cereal more often than eggs, ya kno.

I really don't think about where my eggs that I buy come from. I actually did not know that their was a difference between brown and white eggs. But, when it comes to if I think that the quality of the eggs comes from the way the chicken is treated on the farm. I think that it does matter. The healthier and the more taken care of chickens will in my mind produce more and better quality eggs.

I really never have thought hard on where my eggs and pulrty is coming from. All i know is somewhere on a farm. Im sure how the chicken is treated and everything effects the quality just like a human mother. All I know about eggs is they cost more depending on the size. I usually eat around 5 or 6 eggs per week.
