Cage-Free Lies: Deciphering Your Egg Carton
Episode 63
Published 3 months ago
Description
In today's episode we're cracking the code on confusing egg carton labels. We dive deep into what "cage-free," "free-range," and "pasture-raised" actually mean - and the surprising lack of USDA regulation for some of these common claims.
Learn about the key differences in hen welfare, farming practices, and outdoor access, from crowded metal barns to rotational grazing.
We also address the biggest misconceptions about eggs, including the myth that dietary cholesterol significantly impacts blood cholesterol for most people.
Whether you prioritize price, animal welfare, or nutritional quality, understanding these labels helps you make an informed choice.
