Who knew?

Talking to a fellow GFCFSF mom while on the women's retreat, I found out something I had never known: eggs contain soy. Nearly all chickens are fed a heavily soy-based diet, and it is present in their eggs, especially the yolk. How incredibly annoying! I was comforted a bit when I thought about how much egg Nate eats: not that much. I use 4 egg whites in his pancake mix--but that isn't bad since the soy is present in the yolks. He doesn't eat much straight/plain egg. Levi, on the other hand, eats a soft-boiled egg nearly every morning at breakfast (I was determined to get him to like them!).

I did some searching online and found some soy-free eggs, and the price is about the same as the soy-free eggs at Whole Foods (i.e., quite expensive). I might end up ordering my eggs online if I can't keep up with making it up to Whole Foods often enough (it isn't very close and is kind of a hassle to get to). I sure wish we lived somewhere where I could keep my own egg-producing chickens like Hallie!
