Vital Farms Got CAUGHT... It's Worse Than You Think
In a Nutshell
Vital Farms eggs, marketed as premium pasture-raised, contain 26% linoleic acid from soy and corn feed—equivalent to canola oil's omega-6 in just two eggs—plus artificial yolk colorants like paprika and marigold, making them inflammatory and far from truly healthy. Despite free-range claims, chickens endure stationary barns, bird flu confinements, and toxin exposure like glyphosate, with the company now backed by BlackRock (12%) and Vanguard (6%) post-IPO. Opt for backyard chickens on proper diets (bugs, grubs) or local farmers for superior eggs; even cheap grocery eggs beat junk food.
