### The Egg Comparison Test (Try This at Home!)
Buy two cartons of eggs: one from a conventional supermarket brand and one labeled **pasture-raised** or from a local farm. Crack them side by side and compare:
* **Yolk color:** Is one noticeably darker?
* **Egg white:** Does one spread more thinly than the other?
* **Shell strength:** Which one is tougher to crack?
Chances are, you’ll spot a big difference — and once you taste the richer flavor of a pasture-raised egg, you may never go back.

### How to Choose Healthier Eggs
* Look for labels like **“pasture-raised,” “organic,” or “free-range”**
* Support **local farmers or farmers’ markets** when possible
* Avoid misleading labels like “natural” or “farm fresh” — they’re not regulated
* Check for certification from organizations like **Certified Humane® or Animal Welfare Approved**

### Final Thoughts
Eggs might seem simple, but they hold powerful clues to the health and welfare of the chickens behind them. The next time you’re baking, scrambling, or poaching, take a moment to observe what your egg is telling you.
**Because when it comes to your food, quality matters — right down to the yolk.**
