Current Events > Why are you still buying supermarket eggs?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Go to the farmers market and buy better eggs, homie. Better yet, get chickens if you have the space for them.

I'm a total local meats snob but I cannot taste any difference in store eggs tbh

---

I get peeled boiled eggs, too lazy

---

Because that's where I buy my food and I'm not interested in shopping at an additional place

This.

I am curious what the price difference is though, because if its $0.99 vs. $3.99 that would also make a difference.

Farmers market eggs and supermarket eggs are from the same damn place

Imagine buying eggs or chickens when you could just conjure them with the power of Dagon

I've literally been to the farm I get my eggs from. It's down a little dirt road outside of a tiny town, and that old man with the great Pyrenees guarding his chicken coop certainly isn't selling his eggs to the supermarket.

because the "farmers market" is overpriced bullshit and my neighborhood has so many cats that i'd lose any chickens i got pretty quick.

Bro I'm at the poverty line lmao, reporters in small towns don't make jack shit. I'd just rather help out small local businesses in any way I can over our corporate overlords.

You think because people are poor we can't afford to spend a couple extra dollars on eggs and fresh produce every now and then?

Farmers' Markets here sell eggs by the dozen. A family of three could go through a dozen daily or at least in 2 days. The other factor is that stores unload eggs and put them on the shelf every morning. Farm fresh eggs from Walmarts are going to be a day behind?

Most people have eggs in the refrigerator for a week. What is the point of getting them direct?

I fucking hope not

Been getting farm fresh eggs for years. We go through like 4-5 dozen per week, my wife has eggs for breakfast every day and the rest of us every other day.

Store-bought eggs taste incredibly bland now by comparison, and the yolks are so pale. The difference is huge.

when around 50% of americans aren't merely living paycheck to paycheck, but actively in debt via payday loans and unable to even have bank accounts because their debt would result in any money they acquire being drained from them, yeah i think poor people mostly can't afford that

some people eat eggs every morning, its part of the reason we've got an obesity problem.

Even if you live in Manhattan you can get local eggs, city boy

His point is they don't come from the same place. Local farmers don't sell to Kroger, Kroger buys from factory farms that treat the chickens like some horrible dystopian nightmare

I guess if I ate 6 eggs a day I'd go for the higher quality option, but my family of three goes through about a dozen a week and sometimes not even that

So you have access to a Farmer's Market.

Not everyone gets that.

Eggs are like 60 calories each. Three eggs scrambled with some spinach, mushrooms and salsayoure looking at a healthy, protein and calcium rich breakfast thats less than 250 calories.

most people dont just eat eggs in the morning chucklefuck, they combine it with bacon, toast, some shit cereal, and a big glass of sugar juice. big hardy american breakfast...

Vital Farms is a newer company that does pasture raised chickens. Their eggs are really fuckin good and are being sold in grocery stores here in Texas.

if you cant get your own chicks or get to a farmers market, pastured raised chickens produce some great eggs. Theres a night and day difference between normal eggs and cage free pasture raised eggs.

I had milk from a farmer's market once and it was the best milk I've ever tasted in my life. I'm lazy though so I'll probably never go to another Farmer's Market

Food deserts exist, my dude.

There are places in New Mexico where the closest thing to a grocery store is a gas station.

---

I'm not. I don't eat anything that comes out of a chicken's vaginass.

An egg is an egg. Small farms dont have better chickens than corporations.

Yeah, I've been trying to lose weight lately and eggs come in handy, low calories but delicious if you make them right.

Just finding parking to the local farmers market is a gigantic pain in the ass and it's only 1 day per week which is Sunday morning when I have no interest in leaving the house.

lol this is fucking ridiculous. blame all that shit then, not the eggs. eggs are one of the healthiest foods there is. i've lost almost 100 pounds in the last three years or so, and eggs are a part of my standard breakfast i have almost every morning. lmfao the nerve, calling someone else a chucklefuck while posting chucklefuck shit like this.

How dare you chucklefuck on a chucklefuck
