On the subject of eggs, I picked up a good point earlier. The article mentioned that many people who are 'allergic' to eggs, might not be reacting to the eggs per se, but to the soy they are fed with. Most chicken feed contains heaps of soy because its cheap, but the yolks can be very high in soy isoflavones.
People who react to cheaper eggs may find they are ok with either the 'omega 3' eggs which have a feed high in flax meal, or to non soy-fed free range eggs.
Once again we are back in the realms of, if you want food the way it SHOULD be produced, you have to pay a premium!
PS. We used to buy farm eggs that always tasted of fish. They were fed fish meal, so that is a testament to how the feed can affect the eggs. Unfortunately, you can't taste soy.
Sorry, that was a bit off-topic, but I thought it was interesting.... :0)
