Eggs

Pre-Jow Forums I used to get the high Omega-3 eggs for $3 a dozen, but now that I eat 4-6 eggs in one meal I get the very cheapest I can find. Usually the large or medium for under a $1 a dozen. They all have Omega-3 in greater or lesser amounts so I figure I'm making it up anyway.
Actual, literal free-range eggs are top tier, admittedly. They get the bugs that chickens are naturally meant to eat. But practically you need to find a place like that selling direct where you can wee the chickens. Grocery store "free range" chickens are indeed kept in larger enclosures, but they're still fed chicken feed unless they claim otherwise.
Is that Canada, or somewhere else? I always assumed high food prices in Canada were a Jow Forums meme, but is it real?

I feel bad for people without family in the countryside to supply them fresh homegrown produce.
Farmer's market would be the next best thing for you, OP. I've found that usually the stuff there is of higher quality and sometimes even lower prices than supermarket stuff.

Can confirm that food prices are retarded in a lot of canada. For certain foods produced in Canada it also means higher quality and regulation, but generally it's just artificially jacked up.

Just eat dog food, Canadabro.

I literally give no shits if its battery farmed.

Just fucking die, dude

the more expensive eggs came from chickens that were free range and walking around. though with supermarket eggs i never saw the difference.

a coworker of mine had free range chickens on a farm she lived on and she'd give me the eggs for free. those eggs had bright orange yolks which apparently is reflective of them having a better diet and being more free range ie healthier.
i presume in anotherwise well rounded diet though you could get away with eating the cheat ones because you'd have sources of all the other nutrients elsewhere.

12 eggs cost 3.5$ here in Europe

Free range is the standard here (UK). Organic is noticably more expensive though. I will buy organic occassionally but not all the time. You can tell when an egg is intensely factory farmed, the shells are more brittle, the whites and yolks are a different consistency. Probably all the shit from being stressed 24/7.

>regulation

not to get all Jow Forums but i knew nothing about how fucked up your guys' dairy industry is with government production control from the dark ages nearly tripling the cost of a gallon of milk, until the trade dispute was on the news.

In a sense thats way more fucked up than our corn lobby problems...

>not having 40 chickens
>not controlling their diet for optimal nutrition
>not eating 36 free range high quality eggs a day
>making it

I wouldnt recommend eating the cheapest supermarket eggs. The chicken are in small cages, fed SÔÝ and get zero nutrients from what they should eat.
Free range, bio, whatever eat bugs, worms, dandellions, ... and are fed additionally wheat, peas, sunflower seeds and whatnot. They get theie vitamins themselves, are in no stress and live good lives giving good eggs.
Ad orange yolks- the colour doesnt really matter, free range can have light yellow and cage ones can have dark orange. The trick is that the ones in cages might be fed carotens, beet extracts, sunflower and whatnot. The yolk colour doesnt represent the quality of the egg.

At least buy free range (on grass). No reason not to spend some dollaroos extra on "premium" eggs - they're better for both you and the chickens.

even free range chicken can be fed with crap, so unless you have a really good source it's not worth it to pay more

>Chicken breast on sale here is like 15 bucks a pound.
For organic free range maybe. Regular boneless skinless chicken breasts are like $8/kg on sale.

FRIENDLY REMINDER THE COLOR OF THE EGG IS THE ACTUAL COLOR OF THE CHICK NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS
>muh brown eggs
