I'd love to get your take on the 2016 paper by Dr. J David Spence in the Journal of Translational Internal Medicine, entitled "Dietary cholesterol and egg yolk should be avoided by patients at risk of vascular disease" (Which he explains is basically everybody). He demonizes eggs and the egg industry. It's so fricking hard to know what to believe...
Thankfully (for food needs) live in rural farm country here in Minnesota, so "free range" chickens is a thing. The vast differences in the look, feel and taste is amazing. Just looking at the yolk is a pale yellow look (commercial) compared to a bright orange (what I'll refer to as organic).
Don't have the time to pull up studies and link them (family stuff), but the usual google sources are out there to see the differences. There are sources out there to get organic, free range eggs at a "decent" price, considering egg prices are inflated from a few years ago.
If you can afford it, no doubt they are worth it, IMO.
Thought I would see something about leaving the yolk raw for your eye health protection… yeah? Something something macular degeneration?

I was thinking of Gaston's song from Beauty and the Beast-
"When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs,
every morning to help me get large.
Now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs,
so I'm roughly the size of a barge!"
I keep forgetting to drop a fried egg onto my daily burger. Need to remember that.
When I was in high school, I would consume 2,500 calorie protein shakes with a scoop of ice cream and two raw eggs added in.
I don’t know if it was ever common, but a lot of old folks down here used to blend a raw egg into their milkshakes.
