Perhaps the mainstream media counted their chickens before they hatched. In a surprising admission, a July 8 Time magazine story revealed that organic eggs are no healthier than factory eggs. In the past, Time has championed organic foods and green lifestyles . Still, the egg story included a survey of egg prices in a random city – Athens, Georgia – and predictably, the survey discovered factory eggs were only $1.69 a dozen whereas organic eggs ranged from $3.99 to $5.38 a dozen. Time noted a new study that found the organic eggs are not healthier, despite the higher price tag.
