Before you start to feel too good about eating your 'poor quality eggs', spare a thought for the poor chickens, both the baby male chicks who are 'discarded' and the hens who spend their lives in cages so that you may have your daily eggs.
Take a look at the youtube clip below if you are in doubt as to whether you should 'feel good' about consuming cage-produced eggs.

And before you decide that free-range is okay instead, remember that millions of 'waste product' male chicks must still die, often in quite gruesome circumstances (ground up alive) in order for you to enjoy them.

Poor quality eggs from your information still are going to out weigh processed, poor quality packaged food. Perfection can be the downfall of progression. I'm learning to do the best with what is available. Thanks again!
