As a grandmother myself, I love this. We should honor this role and the wisdom we have obtained that only experience can provide.

I woke up to a beautiful, poignant scientific article share by my friend and Food & Spirit colleague, Allyne Rosenthal, on what we are learning from the quintessential matriarchal mammals on menopause. Yesterday, an article in Nature discussed observations of why menopause exists based on examining whales. Some of them are listed below. Menopause may be an actual passing of the "biological baton," and a way for the older female in the group to make space and the resources available for her reproductive daughters as well as her sons, which stay with her through her lifetime.

We have so much to learn from nature. Animals can be one of our biggest teachers (as I know from the cats I've lived with!). If we saw menopause as a pause in reproduction to share resources, such as philosophy, wisdom, and strength, with others, it might alter our orientation to it.

Quality matters when it comes to food. Eggs are a common allergy. I love them. If you can ear them then choose wisely. Here’s why

Paying $1.99 for a dozen eggs?

All eggs are NOT created equal. And if you’re buying cheap eggs, you are most likely not getting good nutrition and the chickens are not being treated humanely.

Eggs are rated on a nutritional scale from 1-5. Five being the most nutritious.

Costco eggs and Egglands eggs are not nutritional eggs with a rating of only 1. Look at the differences in the one cheap egg compared to the other eggs pictured.

Eggs from chickens that are allowed to roam in the pastures and are fed organic feed are by far the healthiest. Don’t be fooled by the term “free range“ or “cage free.” These chickens generally do not see the light of day. Make sure you look for the term “pasture raised.“ And “pasture raised organic” is always best. That way they are not eating GMO feed.

😱Top 5 Worst Egg Brands😱
Based on farming practices, quality of feed and storage methods, here are the top 5 worst egg brands that you should avoid according to Medium:

🥚Cal-Maine Foods: Cal-Maine Foods is the largest producer of eggs in the United States. However, their chickens are raised in factory farms and are often kept in cramped, unsanitary conditions. Additionally, the company has been criticized for using questionable farming practices that can harm the environment.

🥚Hillandale Farms: Hillandale Farms has a history of salmonella outbreaks and was forced to recall millions of eggs in 2010 due to contamination. The company has also been accused of inhumane treatment of their chickens.

🥚NuCal Foods: NuCal Foods has been cited for a number of violations, including failing to provide adequate food and water for their chickens. The company has also been accused of mislabeling their eggs as “cage-free” when in fact the chickens are kept in cramped conditions.

🥚Eggland’s Best: Eggland’s Best markets their eggs as “nutritionally superior,” but many experts disagree. Their chickens are fed a diet high in soy and corn, which can impact the quality and flavor of their eggs.

🥚Great Day Farms: Great Day Farms is a Walmart brand that has been criticized for their questionable farming practices. Their chickens are often kept in crowded conditions, and the company has been accused of using inhumane methods to dispose of sick or injured birds.

🌟Alternatives to the Worst Egg Brands🌟
If you’re looking for high-quality eggs that are produced with ethical and sustainable practices, here are some brands to consider:

🥚Vital Farms: Vital Farms is a popular brand that produces pasture-raised eggs from happy, healthy chickens. The company is committed to ethical and sustainable farming practices and has received high marks from animal welfare organizations.

🥚Pete and Gerry’s Organic Eggs: Pete and Gerry’s is another popular brand that produces organic, free-range eggs. The company is committed to sustainable farming practices and has received high marks for animal welfare.

🥚Handsome Brook Farms: Handsome Brook Farms produces pasture-raised eggs that are certified organic and Non-GMO Project Verified. The company is committed to ethical and sustainable farming practices and has received high marks from animal welfare organizations.
