Why is free range so important? A study done by the American Pasture Poultry Producers Association: Pasture raised chicken eggs have 285% more Omega3, 10% less calories, 34% less cholesterol, 14% less total carbohydrates, 73% more vitamin A, 11% less calories from fat, 13% less saturated fat.
From a health perspective, this is huge! We have all been taught that corn fed beef and chickens are actually a benefit. But NO! The problem is that these animals have been eating grass since their creation not corn. Their bodies are designed to eat grass, insects, and grain. The study shows that human consumption of corn fed animal products is the specific reason that cholesterol has been on the rise in this country. There are a lot of dairy products in our diet: milk, cheese, butter, sour cream, butter milk, etc. And there is a lot of beef and poultry consumed in this country. Consuming animal products that have been fed corn drives up Omega 6 levels in our human bodies, which directly makes the bad cholesterol in your blood stream rise significantly. Studies show that high levels of Omega-6 fatty acids increase your risk for cancer, obesity and heart disease.
