I don't understand the anti-egg sentiment on this forum sometimes

If the chickens eat their natural diet and not grains then PUFAs should not matter? What is the PUFA amount if they are fed grains?
Ok, and the Peat recommended is below 4g PUFAs per day? I tend to eat 4 eggs per day on most days, always free range and most recently more duck eggs, not fed grains, they get to eat insects etc.
Is there anti-egg sentiment? If so it seems mainly due to the PUFAs... I see egg yolks as being up there with oysters and liver when it comes to micronutrient-packed foods.

Producers of pastured organic eggs like to brag that their eggs are HIGHER in PUFAs. This is a very common marketing approach.
“Now with 30% less Omega 3!” wouldn’t really fly.
I tend to also take in regard the color of the yolk when I select my prefered brand of eggs: http://www.wideopenpets.com/which-one-of-these-eggs-comes-from-a-healthy-chicken/
That's good, hopefully the brand will be consistent in using the feed color additive shade that is so much to your liking.
