Which one of these would you buy?

0:02

The two dollar per dozen version? Or.

0:04

The seven dollars. A dozen

0:07

version. Well, I haven't.

0:09

Excellent presentation for you because I

0:11

am an expert at this topic.

0:13

Course is not an exact science,

0:15

but I want to share with

0:17

you some data on eggs they

0:19

think will help you choose the

0:21

right type of egg. So when

0:24

evaluating eggs, there's a lot of

0:26

different terms that are confusing. I'm

0:28

gonna make it extremely simple. The

0:30

first part of this is is

0:32

going to be mainly talking about

0:34

space. How much space the chicken

0:36

gets? Okay, unfortunately. sixty. Five percent

0:39

of all chickens. Are

0:41

in Cages Caged Chickens which is

0:43

the great majority of all. The

0:46

chickens are required to get at

0:48

least sixty seven square inches, so

0:50

that's a little bit over eight

0:52

inches by eight inches of space.

0:55

Did you get to something else

0:57

called New California Cage Chickens? They.

0:59

Get another couple inches to. That's like

1:01

a space of ten and a half

1:03

inches. By ten and a half inches,

1:05

and again, not even a square foot

1:07

space. Then you graduate into something called

1:10

cage free. right? There out the

1:12

cage. But. The question is how much space

1:14

to the usually get there in a barn? With.

1:16

A lot of other chickens cage free. Chickens

1:18

get twelve inches by twelve inches so they

1:21

get a square foot. Then. We get

1:23

some the called free range or something

1:25

called free roaming so they get to

1:27

go around the barn and they get

1:29

actually two. Feet by two feet

1:31

says twenty four inches By twenty four inches.

1:34

A little more space and I think they're

1:36

also allowed to go outside the bar under

1:38

some whole outside the barn. I don't know

1:40

when they have access to that, I think

1:43

when they're laying and I also don't know

1:45

they have the option of stepping an actual

1:47

grass or just cement. Did we get something

1:49

called pasture raised not pasteurized? These chickens get

1:52

a little bit more than ten feet by

1:54

Ten feet, so that's a lot better. Now.

1:56

If you could find a farmer close to you.

1:59

May. Be a the farmers. Martin. Luther

2:01

probably get a lot more space. I

2:03

think that's the chickens that you really

2:05

want to get their eggs from, because

2:07

when we're dealing with space as you

2:09

collapse the space and on these chickens.

2:12

You. Raise up. Cortisol, Adrenaline.

2:16

It's not healthy. It's not going

2:18

to contribute to the health of

2:20

that chicken or the health of

2:22

the egg. Chickens were not designed

2:24

to live without space. Just like

2:26

you're not designed to live in

2:28

a small area of space. Now

2:30

when somebody says natural, right, these

2:32

eggs are fresh. A natural. That

2:34

does not mean anything either. Pretty

2:36

much ignore that. On also, ignore

2:38

the. Like the different grades. Isn't

2:40

tell you are healthy that chicken as

2:43

either what you want is pasture raised.

2:47

As far as the seed goes, You.

2:49

Have conventional feed. Sometimes they'll

2:51

say it's vegetarians he will

2:54

versus what else he and

2:56

feed them chicken conventional chickens

2:59

or fed corn and soy

3:01

Gml. That. Means are sprayed

3:03

with chemicals and then also means

3:05

that are getting a tremendous amount

3:07

of omega six fatty acids. and

3:10

average egg is not low in

3:12

this omega six fatty acid that

3:14

you had. This ratio you have

3:16

the ratios of omega three fats

3:18

to omega six fatty acids and

3:20

sentence companies will spike the omega

3:23

three by adding. Ces. Feeder

3:25

fish meal Things like that. And

3:27

that's fine, but at the same time, they

3:29

don't lower the omega six fatty acids. Now

3:31

why is it so important? To

3:34

not consumed so much omega six fatty

3:36

acid. Because. At least. Between.

3:39

Twenty five percent And Thirty

3:41

Percent of our overall calories.

3:44

In the Us. Is. Omega

3:46

Six seed oil off, so adding

3:48

more omega six is not a

3:50

good thing. These foods high in

3:53

Omega six fatty acids really mess

3:55

with your mitochondria, your energy factory.

3:57

They leach into. The nervous system may

3:59

affect the. Hard. To

4:01

create inflammation. Now I personally raise chickens

4:03

for their eggs. and we get a

4:05

lot of eggs from those chickens. I

4:07

mean, we probably get maybe nine exit

4:10

day We can even eat that much

4:12

in nature. These chickens are meant to

4:14

consume worms, bugs, things like that. And

4:16

if you're raising chickens, it's very difficult

4:18

to have enough worms or bucks for

4:20

them. So what? I was using as

4:22

an organic. Green. Mix for

4:24

quite some time in till I had

4:27

my eggs tested and I was kind

4:29

of shocked to find out that the

4:31

eggs. Were. Pretty high the

4:33

mega six fatty acids. so what

4:35

did I do? I found a

4:38

try to see that. Still organic

4:40

but it's no soy. know corn?

4:42

Organic keys are getting barley oats.

4:44

we eat. Fish. Meal calcium,

4:47

vitamins, minerals and then I also

4:49

enhance it with our some freeze

4:51

dried. Insects as well as allowing

4:53

the chickens to roam around and get

4:55

some space. And so now the omega

4:57

six fats are much much lower. Now

5:00

of course you might not have the space

5:02

where you can actually have chickens. You might

5:05

not be close to a farmer's market

5:07

books it's gonna do. You want to find

5:09

a store that sells pasture raised organic eggs?

5:12

And. I'll tell you it's a little bit more money

5:14

to few more dollars for, doesn't. But. It's

5:16

really worth it because you're going to

5:18

invest in your house, You're going to

5:21

support the farmer who really cares about

5:23

your food. The yes you can find

5:25

really cheap bags but my whole thought

5:28

as you actually interesting click and insurance

5:30

in your own health. So many people

5:32

when they actually lemon junk food because

5:35

are trying to save money into paying

5:37

a lot more. And. Health

5:39

Cost. And the cost of

5:41

a lack of energy. The cost

5:43

of not having a quality of. Wellbeing,

5:46

And is also a company called

5:48

Angel Acres. I've never spoken with

5:50

them but what they do as

5:52

they raise chickens and a super

5:54

healthy way without doing the soy

5:57

in the corn. And they've

5:59

tested their eggs there much lower with

6:01

their omega six fatty acids. And

6:03

yes, they're more expensive, but it's really

6:05

worth it because you're getting a much

6:08

higher quality product.
