Reply #10: I told my sister back in Ohio [View All]

[hippywife]

we had eaten fresh eggs from our chickens and she wanted to know how did we know if they were good eggs, meaning "safe", of course. The question floored me but I had to consider that she is not a cook, she is an IT person who is about as far removed from her food as possible. I just told her they were all good when fresh and they had the lovely bright orange yolks to prove it. In hindsight, I should have responded that I knew they were good because they didn't come from the grocery store who buys CAFO eggs, but I doubt she would have appreciated the difference.

My whole family eats so horribly. I wish I could get them to eat healthier, but they think I'm just a hippie who does weird things for no good reason, even though my own health has vastly improved because of it.
