Let's Talk About Eggs: Part 1...continued

As I was saying...
"Pasture raised" eggs basically means your eggs come from chickens that were free to move about in fresh air, roam around in green grass and eat bugs, berries, and fresh plants at will. Store bought eggs, on the other hand, come from chickens that have never seen the sun, never felt fresh air or even know what it smells like, and have never touched or tasted natural chicken food at any time in their short, pathetic, cramped, diseased lives. These poor birds are stuck in stuffy, cramped chicken houses, given meds to keep them alive long enough to produce and then when they keel over from overworked, improperly nourished, sick bodies, they are scooped up in piles by a tractor and disposed of.

Now, store bought eggs are what some people refer to as FRANKENFOOD, because they are not natural and hardly represent anything like what God created and meant eggs to be. Pasture raised eggs are rich in every nutirent under the sun, have more Vit A + D than store bought milk (which is all fake anyway...but that's another story for another day), contain elements necessary for nervous system development in children, strengthens cell walls, keeps the mind sharp, is very high in lecithin which keeps cholesterol moving...and does NOT CAUSE HEART DISEASE! These eggs also have a perfect ratio of essential fatty acids whereas store bought eggs have a SEVERELY whacked out ratio of 19:1which will lead to MAJOR health problems for the consumer over the years!

So here are just a few details on good eggs verses bad eggs. Next time we'll talk a little more on where to get the good eggs, some characteristics of eggs you should know, and how to eat them.

Again, when I say store bought eggs, I am talking about eggs that are produced in large commercial capacity that come from GRAIN-FED chickens that live in stuffy chicken houses and are DISEASED! I'll have to mention more on why and how these birds are diseased because I know some of you are thinking, "How could they sell it to us if they're diseased? Surely the government won't allow it!" Well, my friend, you don't know the government...but stick with me and it will all come clear.

Until next time...

Let's Talk About Eggs: Part 1

My chickens mill around the yard eating bugs, scooping up fruit that's fallen from the trees and making nesting holes in the mulched flower beds around the house.  There was a time when it seemed odd to me that people would have chickens walking freely around their homes. I even read an article that said when you till your garden, just let the chickens in with you and they'll eat up the grubs they find in the dirt.  Again, something I had a hard time picturing, but raising my own chickens was, in my mind, becoming a necessity.

As I studied nutrition, I came across information alerting me that the eggs I was buying from the store came from diseased chickens! I immediately stopped buying them and because we still lived in town at the time, I sought out a local farmer who had pasture raised eggs.  The movie Food, Inc. displayed quite an eye opening view of the typical poultry farm and it was enough to make me never want to eat another store bought egg again. I recommend everyone watch it!

Store bought eggs, next to store bought milk, are some of the worst man-made concoctions a person can put in their mouth... let alone their children's mouths.  So, in part one of this series, let's just first consider a few things we should all be aware of regarding eggs:

• Most of the eggs currently sold in supermarkets are nutritionally inferior to eggs produced by hens raised on pasture. 
• Eggs from hens raised on pasture show 4 to 6 times as much vitamin D as typical supermarket eggs. 
• Pasture raised eggs have 1⁄3 less cholesterol• 1⁄4 less saturated fat• 2⁄3 more vitamin A• 2 times more omega-3 fatty acids• 3 times more vitamin E• 7 times more beta carotene.                

Learn About The Bible in Seven Days!

Or... if you wish, take 7 hours!  I just love the "Discover the Bible" home study course.  A person can learn all about the Bible, its history, its purpose, and of future events in these 7 lessons.  Take an hour, a day, or a week to go through each lesson; it's up to you.  Shortly after I was saved, I took this course and I learned more about the Bible in a week than I ever had in all my years of church attendance... and I finally UNDERSTOOD the Bible and its meaning.

Go to http://www.discoverthebible.org/

I highly recommend this study for homeschoolers as well.  Rich with history, drama, and a sound presentation of salvation, a child can quickly come to know and love the Bible and the One who gave it to us!
