Free-range eggs are naturally better!

Tests indicate that eggs from chickens raised on free range and pasture are much more nutritious than USDA nutrition standards — up to twice as rich in vitamin E, two to six times richer in beta carotene (a form of vitamin A) and four times richer in omega-3 fatty acids. And, the free-range eggs averaged only half as much cholesterol as the USDA data indicates for confinement-system eggs.
