Organic eggs own non-organic eggs

A friend of mine insisted he could taste the difference between regular and fair trade coffee, despite us laughing at him since there's no difference.

It wasn't long until we brewed a pot of regular stuff and told him it was fair trade. Sure enough, when we asked, he started insisting he could taste it was fair trade, until we showed him the can it came from. That was the last time he said he could taste the difference!
 
This is plain goofy, there is no difference in taste.

Oh, and organic products contain many more pathogens than regularly treated ones.

Got a link to back that up? Just curious.

 
I can dig it up, was on 60 minutes or 20/20. They sent dozens of organics to the lab, then dozens of regularly treated ones. I'll find it..

Gotta go, monopoly started.

The eggs SHOULD taste different. If you feed one chicken only vegetarian meals, and another chicken mashed up chicken or other animals, the eggs should taste different. It's the same reason your pee stinks when you eat asparagas, or you crap smells different because of what you eat. 🙂

One advantage of living in the country is that there are small chicken farmers around. At one of my internships, one of the chemists had free range chickens, she'd bring in eggs every few days. Something like a dollar a dozen. They were GOOD. Probably pretty close to organic eggs I'd guess.

Fresh milk is good too. A little rich for me, I'm used to 2%.

The good part about real milk is that you can skim it yourself. Just let the cream rise, ladle off the cream you don't want and shake it up. Tada... skim (or partical skim) milk. You can then use the collected cream for butter, cheese, deserts, etc..

If you get a chance you should get some butter from real whole milk. It makes grocery butter taste like flavored paste product. 🙂
 
Actually, they do taste different. Unfortunately, they are a little more expensive, but we buy our eggs from a local farmer, who actually raise chickens humanely, so it's worth the extra money.
 
I didn't buy them expecting them to taste better. I bought them because they were organic. I was surprised when the egg tasted different.

I grew up on a farm, but I don't remember what the eggs tasted like. I do remmeber that chicken in Trinidad tasted ALOT better than chicken we got here in Texas in 1991. I remember hating the chicken. According to my parents, American chicken has improved... but the fact that I hated assembly line chicken makes it clear to me that animals are what they eat.

Can you get Bell & Evans chicken in your area? It's great. Makes Purdue or Tyson look like processed rat.

They think American chickens have improved because your parents are slowly getting used to them 😀

No.. after 1991, the next time we came to the USA was 1995, and that was when they said chickens improved. Maybe Trinidadian chickens got worse in that time.
