"But how many of those are 'undesirable' in our diet?  I see at least three (iron, selenium, zinc) that I can buy in our local health food store."


Copper and Manganese are also popular in multivitamins. But I think the point is that free-range chickens, like free-range bees, are picking up whatever is in their environment. And while the levels of even the scary-sounding minerals are likely far below anything worrisome, just imagine the outcry if the same elements were found in a sampling of eggs produced by caged hens fed GMO corn.
