Happy Egg Co.With the start of a new year comes the usual slew of feel-better resolutions, but if you are committed to altering your shopping habits for better health, or to create a better and more sustainable world, one of your first considerations should be the egg aisle. There is a big difference between standard eggs and organic, free range eggs - not only for your health, but for the health of our environment as well. Picking out eggs might seem daunting given the overwhelming variety available at most grocery stores, but there’s really only one rule: ignore the confusing labeling and do your research before hitting the grocery store, so you can rest assured that you’re purchasing true free-range eggs from a farm that treats its chickens well. Once you know a little more about the various farms and brands, making the switch to more humane, better tasting eggs is a no-brainer.1
