- V How To Make A “Flax Egg” For Vegan Baking – The RIGHT Way @bonzaiaphrodite.- "Grind whole flax seeds, don't buys flax meal. 2. Grind them. 3.Mix. One egg equals [1 tablespoon flax meal plus 3 tablespoons water], and you do not need to make each one individually. In a small bowl, add flax meal followed by water (not water followed by flax), stirring as you go. I use a miniature whisk because it’s adorable, but a fork works just as well.4. Put in fridge 15min.-1 hr.

- Why You Shouldn’t Buy Free Range Eggs (And What to Do Instead) By Bethany McDaniel @ From the Pasture - "Labels like… “Free Range” “Organic” “Hormone-Free” “Antibiotic-Free” Think these words somehow make your eggs more healthy, humane, and natural? Think again. Most of the token labels that you’ve been paying $3 + more for per dozen mean absolutely nothing. Aside from buying pasture-raised eggs from your local farmer, raising them yourself is really the only other option if you aren’t into supporting inhumane farming practices and feeding antibiotic infested chicken eggs raised on grains and soy to you and your family. By raising your own eggs, you can guarantee that they will be…"
- HC Summers Feed & Supply | Difference Between Stores Bought Eggs and Fresh Farm Eggs - Jefferson, MD - "Just like with your own body, you’ll get out of it what you put in. Chickens from the farm are fed with food sources of a higher quality than those who are hosted within a factory for mass consumption. This is why the yolk is richer and the shell is thicker. Farm fresh chickens spend their days outside soaking up vitamin D, while factory chickens are stuck inside eating a feed that just isn’t as good or fresh.However, it is true that the color of the shell doesn’t matter. Though many people will swear by it, there is no difference between white or brown eggs. I recently asked a farmer if there was, and was told that some chickens lay white eggs, and others lay brown. As cheesy as it may sound, chickens don’t discriminate and neither should you, unless you are given the choice between farm fresh and store bought. The bottom line is that farm fresh eggs taste better, and hold more nutritional value than store bought eggs. If you don’t believe me, then test it out for yourself. Trust me, once you have seen and tasted the difference, there’s no going back. Go support your local community and take the time to buy some farm fresh eggs because fresh will always taste better.
- HOMEGROWN Eggs vs Store Bought Posted by Joe Klinkhoff @ Homgrown eggs
- "Farm Fresh eggs have:• 1/3 less cholesterol • 1/4 less saturated fat • 2/3 more vitamin A• 2 times more omega- 3 fatty acids• 3 times more vitamin E• 7 times more beta carotene. " - Store Bought vs. Farm Fresh Eggs @ Back Roads Living
- "The shell color does not change what is inside of the egg. Just because you see brown eggs in the stores doesn’t mean they are any healthier than the white store bought eggs. The factory hens that lay brown eggs are fed the same thing as factory hens that lay white eggs." - Store Bought vs. Farm Fresh Eggs @ Back Roads Living
- Store-Bought Eggs Vs. Farm-Fresh Eggs by Kirsten Lie-Nielsen @ Hobby Farms - "While there may not be a discernible flavor difference in eggs from your farm or your grocery store, there are some noticeable effects when you use those eggs in your cooking and baking. The increased nutritional value of homegrown eggs also means that their yolks are fuller in color and that their whites are stiffer and hold together better. While your finished cake or tortilla may not have a taste difference, the experience of cooking with farm fresh eggs is different and usually preferable.It is true that homegrown eggs and supermarket eggs might not have a noticeable difference in taste, but the satisfaction in collecting your own eggs gives them a certain zest, and although the flavors may be the same, an egg fresh from the farm will always be more nutritional and healthy for the consumer.

Lactose
- "Lactose is a disaccharide sugar derived from galactose and glucose that is found in milk. Lactose makes up around 2–8% of milk (by weight), although the amount varies among species and individuals, and milk with a reduced amount of lactose also exists. It is extracted from sweet or sour whey. The name comes from lac (gen. lactis), the Latin word for milk, plus the -ose ending used to name sugars. It has a formula of C12H22O11 and the hydrate formula C12H22O11·H2O, making it an isomer of sucrose." - Wikipedia

Milk is not good for your health (but it is your body, you can put whatever you want in it)
- Got Milked?: The Great Dairy Deception and Why You'll Thrive Without Milk:by Alissa Hamilton - ""Bolstered by the dairy industry and its successful “Got Milk?” advertising campaign launched in California to help declining milk sales, as well as the government’s recommended dietary guidelines, many Americans view cow’s milk as an essential part of a daily diet, unequaled in providing calcium, protein, and other nutrients and vitamins. Cow’s milk has been promoted as a food without substitute, as being necessary and not interchangeable with foods outside the dairy food group. But as food processing and marketing expert Alissa Hamilton reveals, cow’s milk is far from essential for good health, and for many, including the majority of American adults who can’t properly digest it, milk can actually be harmful."
