It seems these chickens are just good all the way around, from breakfast to dinner and maybe even for a late night snack. Though, when this stuff is deep fried it is pretty much robbed of all of its nutritional value.
Baked chicken is good enough for you, as long as it is not the only thing that you are eating. Eggs though, these are the true gems from the hens.
Have you ever wondered whether some eggs are better than others? Well, theoretically yes.
If you have a free ranged chicken it should produce healthier eggs, and its meat should be a little denser and less fatty. So if you have your own chickens, you can feel safe in knowing you are eating eggs that are better than the eggs that are sold in grocery stores that come from chickens that spend their entire life cramped in a cave.
Though the eggs in the store that say they are high in vitamin d and extra heart health, well this is more of a marketing scheme than actual truth. These eggs that come from supposedly free range chickens are barely any different from the caged chicken's eggs.
For one, the nutritional value in an egg is barely affected by the life of the chicken. Mainly it is the diet of these chickens that is going to change the nutritional value of their eggs.
But even that is not going to make any miraculous changes to your chicken eggs. There are no golden eggs that cure all ailments and stop aging.
Secondly, these chickens being advertised as free range, have basically the same life as their caged counterpart. They are free range, only it is inside a warehouse that is packed with poultry.
Pictures of these chickens show they are basically have the same space of mobility as their caged cousins. So take my advice, don't be duped by the heart health eggs that cost nearly three times more for practically the same thing.
These free range chicks are usually stacked on scaffolding, just so they can pack these hen houses not just from side to side but from top to bottom as well. I'm not one against animal mistreatment, but I am against false advertising.
Usually the word free roaming makes you think of these birds wondering about in a large field, playing with turkeys and hanging around cows. This is simply not the case; in fact it is not even close to what is actually happening. Destry Masterson is a health and nutrition expert.
