I ate eggs from my stepson's brood, all last summer.
From chicken to the table in 12 hours.
I can't say that I was impressed.
Yes, there was more "taste."
Now, I'm not a BIG egg fan.
I certainly like them as an occasional breakfast... maybe, 2 times a week.
They are considered healthy and contain a lot of minerals, vitamins and protein.
They're generally, good for you (in moderation).
So, home grown eggs, cheap, though not free, are OK.
But, I can't say that there's a big difference from store bought.
imo.

I was actually thinking about this thread this morning when I had me some jalapeno sausage, eggs, potatoes and a flour tortilla! I've eaten eggs we gathered on the farm. I've eaten them in truck stops, even fine eating establishments with a big thick steak. I can truthfully say, I never gave a thought to one egg tasting any different than another unless of course there was a tiny chicken in it when you broke it open! Even though I like chicken, and had me some hot wings last night, I don't USUALLY eat THAT little chicken.

Saltines contain no added sugar. So what makes it sweet? Not the salt. It must be the flour but if that was true people would add flour to their coffee if they ran out of sugar.
The body has to digest the carbohydrate to turn it into sugar. That's why people talk about proteins, fat, and carbs. Not protein, fats, and sugars.
Saying that, sugar is the scourge of our diet. If you want to learn more, That Sugar Film is free on Prime.

I was just at the Giant Eagle (supermarket) here. A dozen of their bakery oatmeal raisin cookies, which was $4.29 at the beginning of 2021, is now $7.99. I may have to give up cookies, and use the money for booze.

Eh. I may shake my head at the price, but the dozen eggs still hit the cart.
About once every two months.
I cook with them, make scrambled eggs, omelets, and if any last until their "best by" date the missus hard boils them.
I may have a hard boiled egg for a mid-morning snack here and there. Or drop one in my noodles for lunch.
I dont sweat it. Nor the processing of carbs at this point. Until the body makes it mandatory I guess.
Otherwise it doesn't keep me up at night. Thats what an enlarged prostate and Texas Pete induced dreams are for.
But only figuratively.

I won't deep dive into it, but I could certainly make the case that D.Fuel prices could be a contributing facet of the complex puzzle.
I've been known to eat some crow now and then.

No, I don't. It got soggy.
Using your carb/sugar logic, humans cannot live without "sugar". So it can't be poison.

5.59 Oz for a dozen eggs today....jumbo size...
Everything costs something, you have to feed and coup the chickens...just saying.
A Small amount is necessary!
Breakfast tomorrow (I'm already looking forward to) two eggs, some bacon and two pieces of bakery bread.
I am pretty sure we could both drum up articles supporting what we want to believe all day long and they will all hold internal bias. Eggs are big business and the marketing campaigns have to convince the shoppers that they have better eggs to validate their higher price. I find just as much likely bias in the article you submitted as it was authored by a group wanting to support the ethical treatment of chickens in regards to egg production.You posted an article where journalists called some scientists and tested some eggs they bought in a store, and came to a conclusion that benefits the producers of 2/3 of all the eggs in canada, according to the article.
I googled "chicken egg quality study" and found this actual scientific study.
They did not test using my criteria based on the perfect egg to cook overeasy and eat on my grits, but they did have very specific criteria for egg quality, and they did find a difference in egg quality and vitamin content based on the chickens' diet.
Egg quality depending on the diet with different sources of protein and age of the hens - Scientific Reports
Due to the planned limitations in the use of genetically modified soybean meal, the search for alternative sources of protein in animal nutrition is ongoing, which also supports the consumers’ expectations of good quality products, such as eggs. The aim of the study was to assess and compare...www.nature.com
Btw, the eggs I get cost less than expensive grocery store brands, and are not certified organic. I'm not talking about expensive brands.
At the end of the day, a few things should be obvious. First, we are both right and we are both wrong depending on who you want to believe. Second, everybody else on this forum is wondering why 2 grumpy idiots are arguing about eggs on a guitar forum. Third, you will never find a single recepie that specifies what eggs to add nor will you find any restaraunt paying extra for more expenisve eggs. I believe there is a reason behind that. Fourth point.....I can't answer point number 2 and really surprised that I ended up wanting to die on this hill, it isn't an important topic. I guess I was just tired and irritated from all the holiday work hours. I will let it go.

I know exactly where some of my favorite restaurants get their eggs because I know some of the chefs, and I know some have gone through struggles to get good eggs. They absolutely do pay more for eggs, especially ones that are not used for baking. I can name the restaurants and chefs, and their James Beard award if you like. They just can't put a thin, runny, hilighter-yellow egg on top of croque madame or anything served with an overeasy egg, for instance.
To your point about expensive brands and marketing, you are right. Expensive brands barely meet criteria for fancy labels, then jack up the price, and the eggs usually aren't that good.
But I was never talking about store brands. I'm talking about eggs I buy from my friends, that you can't get in a store, and they aren't that expensive. No marketing, just dramatically superior product. Not every farmer has great eggs, but some do.
I really didn't post that "article" to support my opinion on eggs, I posted that scientific study specifically to contrast it with the fluffy news article you posted. I was trying to contrast the style of information more than make a point about eggs. If we're going to talk about "scientific facts", I expect a control group at the least.
