We have posted before about the controversy over the National Organic Standard strengthening its outdoor access requirement. But we just found this great video by the Cornucopia Institute that explains the issue superbly. Cornucopia has also published a full report on the matter, including a really useful list of how all the organic egg brands measure up. Interestingly, the only national brand that gets top marks is Vital Farms (sold at Whole Foods). Last I checked, they were getting $5.99 a dozen. This report might jack that price even higher!
