Reply #56: That's so unfortunate, there's way more than anti-oxidants involved... [View All]

The poor chicken is the most abused animal in the world. The cheap mass produced eggs come from barns full of thousands of birds crammed into tiny cages with no daylight, no room to move, clipped beaks and feet, fed unnatural diets and pumped up with hormone and antibiotic treatments so that they can live under such cruel disgusting conditions.

Consequently, the eggs produced are not healthy and that is why all the warnings about salmonella etc. I grew up on a farm and we often would make big pitchers of eggnog when we had excess eggs. Nobody ever got sick. You wouldn't dream of doing that with the cheap mass produced battery eggs, it would probably kill you.
