Eggs

I heard some eggs were recalled last week. The chickens were living in filth and misery, and lo and behold, their eggs were not fit for consumption.

I'm happy to say, I didn't have to worry about this in the slightest. My eggs, while a little more expensive than the factory ones that occasionally turn out to be poisonous, come from a farm an hour from here. I know the people who raise the chickens. I know what the chickens eat (seasonal, vegetarian food; and bugs) and how they live (outdoors, running around, scratching in the dirt and harassing each other).

I know these things because I buy eggs not from a corporation but from the actual people who raise them, at my local farmers market. They might be at yours, too, (their schedule is here) with meat and cheese...and yummy, non-poisonous eggs.
