Breakfast #3 Organic vs Nonorganic eggs

Why eat organic free range eggs?

Did you know that organic free range eggs have a 1:1 omega 6 to omega 3 ratio, while commercial eggs contain a 19:1 omega 6 to omega 3 ratio? Did you know that ancient men and women had a 1 to 1 ratio within their cell membranes? Do you know what modern men and women?s Omega 3 to Omega 6 ratio is? This is a direct quote from an The Center for Genetics, Nutrition and Health.

?Several sources of information suggest that human beings evolved on a diet with a ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA) of approximately 1 whereas in Western diets the ratio is 15/1-16.7/1. Western diets are deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, and have excessive amounts of omega-6 fatty acids compared with the diet on which human beings evolved and their genetic patterns were established.?

Is there a correlation here? I have a lot more to say on eggs, but common sense tells me. SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY FOR ORGANIC FREE RANGE EGGS!
