Unimpressed. By the title, I assumed they would make the case for some difference in the chicken's environment or the way the egg is processed before it's sold. "'As the contents of the egg contracts and the air cell enlarges, the shell becomes easier to peel,' the USDA Shell Eggs from Farm to Table fact sheet states. 'For this reason, older eggs make better candidates for hard cooking,'" ... "Statistics on the time it takes for an egg to go from hen to supermarket have not been calculated, a USDA representative told Wired.com, but there’s some reason to believe that new production techniques could be delivering eggs to markets faster." So this article is just saying that eggs sold today are more fresh? Not even that - they "could be" more fresh? This hardly seems newsworthy.
