hello, i found what you wrote about eggs very interesting. i never liked eggs much until i was told not to eat more than a couple a week. after that i started eating them all the time! lol
one of the things i like about eggs being a large part of my diet is that i buy them from a young lady who lives just outside of town and raises happy healthy chickens the natural way. after all i've read about our food sources (inhumane treatment, hormones, antibiotics,etc) i am trying to eat natural organic foods. good free range eggs are one of the easiest and least expensive switches i have made.
