Hi, I'm organizing and lifestyle expert, Lorie Marrero. I talk with people about decluttering your mind, body, spirit, and space.

Today, we’re talking about butter and eggs. What I've learned about them is amazing for your health. I thought people would buy grass-fed meat, and grass-fed butter, and organic food, because they were being food snobs. That could be true about some people, but there is a good reason to buy grass-fed meat, and dairy, and to buy pastured eggs. I want to explain that to you today, because it's actually different food.

This is conventional butter, and this is grass-fed butter, right out of the refrigerator. This is extremely hard, and this is much softer. You can actually mush it around right out of the frig, so that shows you it's a different fat content. What I understand from the Calton's is that this grass-fed butter has more Omega-3's, which is what people are supplementing with when they take fish oil.

This butter is much lighter. It's almost white in color. And this butter is a deeper yellow, along with being softer.

One of the things that I do differently, since this Kerrygold brand butter comes in blocks. I cut it in half, and that makes it the size of a regular stick of butter that I'm used to cooking with. Then, as a practical tip, I cut my butter in half, in half again, and half again. Basically, I'm cutting it into tablespoon portions just by eyeballing it by cutting each piece in half until it's done. When you end up with these eight tablespoons, you can quickly put that right into your butter dish, and then you can quickly grab a tablespoon as a nice measurement.

These brown eggs are pasture-raised organic eggs. They look like they just got removed from the chicken's nest. This is a conventional factory-farmed egg that looks kind of industrial, with even a stamp on it. I'm so pleased Costco has both Kerrygold butter and these organic pasture-raised eggs.

My nutritionist friends, Mira and Jason Calton, wrote "Rich Food, Poor Food," that I like for navigating through the grocery store very specifically. Their latest book, is called, "Micronutrient Miracle," and I want to read a little bit from here, because it is the most recent information.

They say, "Cage free means the chickens are not kept in cages, and they have continuous access to food and water, but they generally have no access to the outdoors or the sunshine, fresh grass, and insects we want them to have." That is pasture-raised eggs that I showed you. "Free range is only slightly better, in that the USDA requires five minutes of open-air access per day to receive this status, but open air can still mean confined in a concrete pen."

We think that cage free and free range sounds like the chickens are all running around, but they may not be. Pasture-raised right now is the most reliable term. That means they really are getting the sunshine that they need, and vitamin D, and all the things that make the food better for us and our bodies, with the nutrients that we want. As the Caltons say, you want your food to be as micro-nutrient rich as possible. As you make certain choices, why not pick the most power-packed choice that you can to get the most bang for your buck.

You don't have to be snooty to want to buy the very best food for your health and your body. The animals get treated better too, so we all win. It works out really well, and I think we should all be voting with our dollars to make this more widespread and available.
