Had two this morning. Same as every morning! 💪😎

Only just found local Mennonites that sell eggs that are pasture-raised and are fed feed that is corn & soy free. Before it was pasture-raised corn free but not soy free. Huge different between the two. Soy really has negative affects. Are there additional elements to the feed to have it be as low in linoleic acid as possible?

There is a reason I still look like this at 57 - it’s called nutrition and PoW - daily exercise taken today 🧡 Thanks for the zaps 💜

Most industry substitute corn/soy for other grains, like flax, which are marginally better but don't meaningfully change the bigger picture. From Nourish Coop - "What makes our eggs truly one of a kind? Our custom low-PUFA, corn-and-soy-free feed, designed to produce the healthiest fatty acid profile possible. Lab testing shows our eggs contain 74% less linoleic acid (an Omega 6 PUFA found in seed oils) than Organic Vital Farms eggs and 76% less than Organic Cage Free eggs — reducing your exposure to the same inflammatory fat found in vegetable oils. Many who previously couldn’t tolerate eggs can finally enjoy them again. When it comes to eggs, you are what your chickens eat, and we’ve perfected the process to give you the best. Other tests performed on our eggs: - Glyphosate Free - Virtually no phytoestrogens (hormone disrupting compounds that can mimic estrogen in the body) - More micronutrients, since the chickens are mobile pasture-raised eating a diverse diet. Lab-tested to contain 129% more Vit E, 55% more Vit B3, 82% more Vit B5, 20% more Vit B1, 15% more Vit D3, plus more Vitamin K2, which was not detected in Cage Free eggs." Looks like they keep the feed composition a secret.

Thank you for this 🙏

Do you crush the shells and eat them too?

Wow, congrats! I respect those people.

I buy 30 eggs from a local farmer - and I even pay for them with satoshis.

We make eggshell powder for our cats primal food. Good for humans, too! Bit of a pain but when you have good low PUFA eggs it's a shame to throw away the shells.

Another path folks will take is peanut meal, which as you can imagine, does not make eggs low PUFA. Guessing Low PUFA feed = protein (meat/animal scraps, bug meal), calcium (limestone, oyster shell, egg shell), fat (coconut oil, macadamia oil), micenutrients (desiccated organs and microgreens). Not too far from fowl ancestral diet.

It’s not easy but damn it’s worth it!!

Want to start your own low PUFA egg operation? 🥚🥚🥚 Came up with a reasonable starting place for feed, using #Grok, by researching the wild jungle fowl's ancestral diet, then iterating to make a feed practical to create at scale for the average person and with low PUFA, moderate MUFA, high SFA. - 50% dried insects (crickets or mealworms) for protein - 20% chopped greens (clover or dandelion) for micronutrients - 10% crushed berries or fruit scraps for sugars and vitamins - 15% fat blend (75% coconut oil, 25% macadamia nut oil) for low-PUFA fats - 5% crushed eggshells, limestone, or oyster shell (choose based on availability) for calcium Source insects and greens from local U.S. farms, berries or scraps from markets, coconut oil from distributors, macadamia oil from Hawaiian growers, and eggshells, limestone, or oyster shell from local suppliers or your flock. Mix dry components, blend oils to avoid clumping, add fresh greens daily. Cheers.

Is there any other food you'd recommend for choline? Asking because our son is currently allergic to eggs. Liver?

I need better eggs

Try Nourish Coop's eggs for him. Milk and shrimp contain decent amount of choline. Peas are good, too.

Guarantee he uses high PUFA feed.

Checked out the Nourish eggs, $17/dozen. I’m not quite there yet but not too far into the future we’ll be able To do that. Getting some local farm eggs but I deal With lots of rotten/runny yolks.
