I am more interested in enlightening the scale of four numbers from 0 to 3, which states what kind of egg you are about to buy and eat:
0 organic
1 free range
2 barn
3 caged

Although it may sound a bit snobbish, I won't discuss here the label 2 and 3, because I think that every person is able to see that keeping an animal inside a barn or a cage is cruel and irrespecutful, even if the egg will cost far less than an organic one: perhaps the quality of the egg itself suffers less than what we may think [http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,2002334,00.html] BUT the life-quality of the animals kept free is, in my view, highly preferable.
In this picture I am showing in a progression of images
how different appear the environment of the animals kept
in captivity.
This instead is an interesting "Organic" blogger:
The essential difference between Organic and Free range is that "the conditions in which certified organic eggs are laid are verified by third parties, which reduces the likelihood of fraudulent labelling" [http://suite101.com/article/egg-labels-free-range-organic-and-omega3-a186883].
Now let's provide three appealing serving suggestions to stimulate the tasty side of life as well:
Poached egg in lyonnaise salad
Fried egg with chili, sided by cherry tomatoes
and a good slice of bread
How to start with scrambled eggs:
a night sprinkle of black pepper,
the scent of chives,
the velveting effect of butter.
Before serving add a spoon of crême fraiche,
or a drop of milk (lighter version),
and season with a pinch of salt (tip: putting the salt too early
makes the egg become more watery)
Serve with a 1/3 brown wheat loaf,
and a mixed salad:
reddish, carrot, iceberg, lettuce gem, Parmigiano flakes
dressing: sesame oil
