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.
