We test the marketing on supermarket eggs, and ask companies if we can see for ourselves what the labels really mean for chickens and for you.

    You can tell the organic egg farmer is very passionate about his work.
  • @rocky0981
    Organic Meadow Farmer made me cry. I only buy my eggs from (Organic Meadow) even though it costs more you can see the love from both the chickens and the farmer.
  • @hannahcann5991
    I love how humble and passionate the organic meadows farmer was... amazing.. he should be very proud
  • @leicafox4403
    I teared up right along with that egg farmer on hearing the news of the quality he's producing by caring about his work.
  • "enriched colony" those birds where so stressed they where almost bald. that is literal cruelty.
  • @gypsylee333
    Watching that organic farmer tear up to hear his ethical method made such a difference in nutrition was so touching, it made me mist up a bit <3
  • @johnflowers4717
    Please note, no one has commented regarding their own chickens. I had the privilege as a youngster to eat eggs from the hen house. They are brown, have a much thicker shell and in my case, had much darker yolks. They were smaller but in my opinion had a stronger flavor than store bought eggs. Hope this was informative and useful.
  • @trillstina
    Marty had me in tears. Its a beautiful thing to see that all his work, effort, and compassion really makes a difference
  • My respect to that farmer crying of nostalgia, there we can see his effort of giving what we humans are suppose to be consuming, quality foods. I personally can see the difference when cooking between organic and conventional, I prefer the organic because of the reach flavor and taste. Definitely worth the money. Oda.
  • @Lrussel5
    Look at the feathering on the birds in the factory vs. the birds in the backyard. Sad!
  • @vinny9868
    Aww Marty, he's tearing up. My heart goes to him and all his efforts!
  • 4:48 showing young birds. Here they have no feathers, they plucked them off each other due to stress, they cut their beaks to stop pecking each other. Don’t tell me otherwise I’ve worked in egg farms and it’s truly heartbreaking and sad !.
  • @thehALomolov2
    Flawed 'blind' taste test, when you react to the correct guess or allow testers to influence each other's input on taste/quality. Maybe have testers fill out a ballet before group discussion on each sample, you'd be surprised how easy it is to influence someone senses and mind by suggestion, " oh I'm getting a rich taste of grass" then suddenly everone else only tastes the grass.

    I am not from Canada but I love this show. I watch it and every episode I have seen is much more than I can get information wise in the USA.
  • @benshocker7393
    16:55 oh man, really nice to see his reaction.. after so much hard work. almost tears me up too
  • @KarnageDon
    Kinda sad... we spend a grand on our phone alone. Plus who knows how much on the follow up bills and other daily cunsuptions of entertainment. But three bucks more to support true farming? Naaaaaaa, lets count every last dime.
  • I did notice the meadow Chicken's were calm they didn't seem hyper or distress. I hope I find those eggs near my city
  • @goldie5781
    Organic MEADOW - THANK YOU! WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU! YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO DESERVES OUR FULL RESPECT.
  • I knew he was gonna cry. Cuz his work actually meant something. And he was justified to treat his chicken so well. Coming out ontop VS the big guys. Hell Yeah
