For me it is an evolution that i went thru from more processed to less .
from artificial to natural . So my line of what is acceptable is going in a
certain direction and is moving all along.
for example not only i questionned the neolithic revolution  but i continued
by questionning the cooking, then the need for seasonning and altering the
natural form of the food etc...
for our purpose i will agree that the eggs that you found are an improvment
on the "normal eggs" raised on by products of the meat grain and oil
industry. I am just for my self beyond that line of improvment ,my line
about eggs are to eat only organic eggs raised by a friend who are truely
free range ( the friend too but i meant the hens). My line in general is to
by pass as much as possible ( and i went
quite far on that ) the big scale producing of food.
because i don't see how good quality can come from that .
i realise  too that a small scale farm eggs can be worse that the brand you
found
,but i know for sure that it can  easely be better  and at least when it is
local i can help to raise the quality.

no i will say that because they have a certainly more natural fatty acid

being close to a wild egg eaten in the paleolothic time.

that will be an other step toward a more natural diet but because i can find

kind of business. ( that is my bottom line with farmed animals , i will not
contribuate to industrial raising no matter how " intelligently
opportunistically " it is done.

nothing,  you are heading in the right direction , enjoy ,  but why
stopping there? Omega 3 is just one tiny  aspect.
