If you aren't vegan - shopping for eggs can be confusing

Here's a link to a recent New York Times article that talks about all the different kinds eggs and what some of the terms mean: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/17/dining/17eggs.html

I've always been wary of chicken eggs that come from chickens fed an "all vegetarian diet." Chickens naturally like hunting around for bugs. If they are fed an all vegetarian diet, that automatically means that the poor birds probably have no time to graze and forage for food on their own.

I thought the article was interesting. It also points out phrases I've seen on packaging that, I learned, are actually useless.

They should have freedom to choose their diet... :)
