Most pasture-raised eggs you buy at the store are actually not much healthier than regular eggs because they're fed cheap corn and soy—so you might be paying more for something that's not really better.

Farmers in the U.S. mostly feed corn and soy to chickens because they're cheap, easy to grow in large amounts, and used in all kinds of egg farming — even the more expensive 'premium' kinds.

Eggs from hens fed a special diet with grass-fed beef leftovers have way less unhealthy fat and a much better balance of good fats compared to regular cage-free eggs.

Even pasture-raised chickens from fancy brands usually get extra food — mostly corn and soy — that's high in omega-6 fats.
