Organic Eggs: More Expensive, but No Healthier

Leaving aside the fact that this was a USDA survey that's cited, probably paid for by the egg "industry", this article completely misses the real reason people buy these kinds of eggs.

They taste better.

This year, like every year, has been a busy one for America's chickens. What the birds lack in smarts they make up for in work ethic, laying about 78 billion eggs annually (or 6.5 billion dozen), supplying a $7 billion industry. GM should be doing so well.
