@needlearmor “Research in both the US and the EU has shown that free-range chickens have higher levels of PCBs, simply because they get out more and can peck almost anywhere.” (Klugar)

@needlearmor However, the Canadian food inspection agency says that no eggs are allowed to have antibiotics or medications (CBC News). A similar test was conducted in the US in 2010, which show the same results. Not only was there barely any difference between the eggs, but the small difference was that the organic eggs were environmentally contaminated.

@needlearmor Let me better clarify as I quote from a research paper I wrote a while back. "organic eggs in Canada are selling for almost double the price, although there is no nutritional difference between the organic and conventional egg and there is no proof that the small amount of pesticides in chicken feed make it to the eggs. Even the package labels say that there are no antibiotics or medications in the organic eggs, which persuade consumers to purchase the organic option.

@mhouse1712 International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition compared organic vs conventional diets in animals. Weight gain was greater in organically fed rats,mortality was lower at 9 weeks,incidence of degenerative diseases was lower. Lower mortality in organically fed rabbits. 2nd and 3rd generation rabbits from organically fed parents had higher birth rates and more viable embryos.Infectious illnesses were less frequent in 2nd generation organically fed animals.

The ignorance of the comments here are laughable. For those who mock organic foods, continue to eat your fatty foods, Mc Donalds and whatever gives you cancer and makes you sick.
I will go the other way.

However the chickens are treated and whatever they eat, it does not affect the egg in any way.

@mhouse1712 Do you know how soil works? And how micro-organisms convert matter into nutrients?
What's funny is that all the people who tell me that Organic isn't any different are always getting sick. I see on their facebook "sick" etc or people at work out sick. Next time i see them they have a fast food bag or some starbucks.
Amazing I used to be just like that. Eating fried chicken and fast breakfast food all the time and hardly drinking any water. I gave all that up after listening to David Wolfe and I haven't been sick once since '04. Have not taken one sick day off of work or doc
