Cage Free Eggs from Happy Chickens

Dining Services uses cage-free eggs from Wilcox Farms for all its egg needs. Why cage-free? Well, it's the right thing to do. Wilcox Farms is committed to humane treatment and preserving the natural behavior of chickens to keep them healthy and happy. Check the farm out at http://www.wilcoxfarms.com

The cage-free eggs that Dining Services purchases from Wilcox also taste delicious! Here is a picture of Dining's Executive Chef Vaughn Vargus with the Wilcox chicken (Vaughn is the one in the white coat.)

Eggs are a nutrient-dense food with high-quality protein and lots of other good stuff: vitamin B12, folate, choline, zinc.

The Guiness Book of World Records has a record for fastest omelet maker. It's held by Howard Helmer who made 427 omelets in 30 minutes.

I like my eggs cage-free

I have always loved breakfast food, especially scrambled eggs. All the eggs used in Dining Services are cage-free. This plate is my breakfast of cage-free eggs & spicy homemade salsa, a vegetarian sausage patty, and red grapes.


Hey you, Breakfast Skipper!

Even if it's a small bite (a glass of milk, a piece of fruit), try to eat a little something within about an hour of waking. Breakfast eaters perform better academically! (And have better long-term weight maintenance.)
