THE EGG WARS
About 45 years ago the food gestapo informed us that eggs were really bad for you. The gullible began to throw away the yolk , just eating the white ( ugh ).The real believers
would order egg white omelets ( Brack ).
The egg lovers struck back about ten years ago. Eggs once again became the near perfect food. We all gleefully began to eat eggs, yolk and all, as many per day as we desired. How delicious they are either fried, soft boiled, hard boiled ( Especially good in salads and sandwich spreads ), poached, and even raw in smoothies. We are warned by the anti egg party that we must beware of raw eggs lest something horrid may happen to us (baloney). How about French toast or egg nog (yum).
The food gestapo, in desperation, just brought out the big guns. The latest salvo : Eating eggs is just as damaging to the cardiovascular system as smoking. This might scare the living daylights out of the large anti cigarette lobby so they joyfully have joined the fray.
Can the egg survive this latest onslaught ? Egg lovers unite! We join the fight to save the humble egg.

I love the egg. I will always love the humble egg, and I will defend the fine and noble egg to my dying breath.
These damned researchers. Coffee is bad for you, NO, it's good for you, no, it's bad for you again.
Honestly, I think moderation is the only thing that is good for us. That, and the odd indulgence.
I look at my grandparents as living proof that fats, cigarettes, and booze do not in fact kill you off young.
Or perhaps we really do just have the best genes around.
I could not have said it better than Francis - great blog Dad!
I agree Amy... and though I have naught new to say, this post left me wanting to say it anyhow.
