DEL.ICIO.USGood foods with bad raps?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Why is it that eggs were “out” because they were high in cholesterol and now they’re “in” because they’re one of the best sources of protein? Same with coffee. It was “out” as a healthy thing because it was linked to high blood pressure, but now it’s the darling of the nutrition world because it’s so high in antioxidants and has been linked to helping control blood sugar and boosts cognitive function. Does this flip flop on what’s good and what’s bad bother you? Or do you see that it’s part of the flow of facts as nutrition science progresses?

I eat pickled eggs from the gas station that are kept in the red liquid filled jar on the counter. They are high in protein and give me the fuel to create a mean dutch oven for my wife at night.

You people are weird. Anything that was good for you once will be proven to be bad for you and vice versa. Also depends on who is giving out the information. The American Egg Council will of course tell you that eggs are great for you. They are if you don’t eat 12 at a time. Most things aren’t bad for you if consumed in moderation.

If any of you saw the conditions that those poor laying hens were kept in, none of you would ever eat eggs again.

How did they manage to turn the food pyramid upside down? Why did the chicken cross the road? Which came first the chicken or the egg? Why has this blog attracted moonbats?

Come on. How could anything that comes out of a chicken’s butt be good for you? It’s the EGG farmers of America that wants your money. Cow milk comes from a 1500 lb. animal. That can’t be good for you either.
