I don't see the difference in taste or quality. I'm not willing to pay
$3.50 for a dozen eggs. (I also can't have chickens running around in my
back yard.) I don't eat eggs often enough to worry about whatever it is you
think they contain. I'm watching my wallet, not what someone might be doing
to eggs. I've been eating regular store bought eggs for 40-something years
without a problem. Don't need to spend extra on "organic". IMHO, the whole
"organic" thing is a marketing ploy to get people to line someone's pocket.
