in reply to Sheril Kirshenbaum • • •it's clear you are a voice for the animal ag industry. You chose to leave out the part of billions of male chicks being ground up alive once they hatch. You are hiding behind a vail of science to justify the exploitation, abuse, suffering and murder of animals.
You have taken the route of violence instead of kindness through being vegan.

I'm not convinced. I've had eggs from naturally raised chickens that had dark orange yolks and held together better than average store-bought eggs, and they taste better. Perhaps protein wise they're similar, but I'd think they're better for you in other ways.

in reply to David Wayne Thompson • • •@RoguishDavid yes, it's not quite as simple as all eggs are equal (I don't add the text and animations in these).
But we can't say all pasture raised eggs are higher in X than those in cages, because every environment is different. The vitamins & minerals hens have access to varies based on feed & can vary farm to farm (or backyard) or by region or season.
