there's a lot of conflicing information on diet and a lot of mis-information.

there's still an army of people out there scaring people off of eggs due to their cholesterol content and making a direct link to heart attacks.

I haven't stopped eating eggs, but good luck convincing people. you're competing with thousands of doctors out there scaring people off of eggs.

 

Everyone that has heart disease has eaten eggs

well, people eat so many different kinds of foods that it may become difficult if not impossible to pinpoint what is causing the health problems.

And you know this how? That would surely take a very large poll with a large majority involved.

You must be a leftist to think we need "a very large poll with a large majority involved", and of course a handsome grant to determine if everyone has eaten eggs.

That would mean everyone eats eggs, which isn't true. And again, eggs aren't the culprit behind heart disease but mostly a person following an unhealthy lifestyle. Eggs have cholesterol but the body makes cholesterol by itself through your liver. A person can never eat eggs and still have heart problems from a high sugar diet, meaning processed junk foods. The amount of eggs a person eats might increase cholesterol so if they already are having problems, that is suggested.

No, I'm a realist that knows nutrition and has followed a healthy lifestyle all my life. I'm not a political person, believing all politicians exaggerate and lie, so you have to wait to see their results over time. Your statement was false, as you don't know but a fraction of people in your life and guessing that all people who eat eggs are those with heart disease is wrong. The fact that people have eaten eggs isn't the contributing factor to their heart problems but their whole diet over time, with a lack of exercise also factoring in.

You as usual left out the negatives to make your point.

No negatives in my egg diet, and high cholesterol doesn't scare me.  Total cholesterol number is not as important as other factors in you cholesterol.  HDL/Trigly ratio is more important to me.  Which I have a 1:1 ratio of.

 

What cholesterol I don't take in, the liver will make, and not known to make good cholesterol.  

 

Eat what works for you, eggs work for me, and are damn tasty way to get the nutrients I need.  Versatile also, so never boring.

The only negatives there are besides an allergy to them, is eating too many eggs if you're someone with a high cholesterol reading. Eggs by themselves aren't what has people with high cholesterol but a lifestyle of bad eating and sedentary. Some look at eggs because eating too many can raise your cholesterol level but it's also what they've been eating all along. I myself eat eggs everyday now and usually had them at least 5 times a week before I moved here, and my cholesterol has always been normal. My lifestyle has always been healthy so that's the deciding factor. Some people swear by the Keto diet, which has people eating all the fats they want and leaving out carbs. This is a temporary diet which shouldn't be followed long term because of the problems they'll have with digestion eventually, yet they promote things which can hurt your heart health over time. Moderation is always the best choice, as a variety of all healthy foods are the best way to live unless you have an allergy to some.

Someone explained this to me a few weeks ago.  Hey, I'm a city boy, to me a chicken is a frozen bird in a plastic bag.

The price of industrial eggs has gone up to the range that organic eggs are in. By industrial I mean eggs you buy in a regular supermarket or megastore (like Walmart).  The bird sickness has not affected the organic farms (Allahu!).  So if they cost the same might as well go for the small farm organic, support local biz, etc.

There has also been something going on in various states in recent months that all eggs sold must be cage-free.  I have some suspicions about this egg-pocalypse happening at this particular time, but I'm not going to go Bobby Kennedy over it.

In other US shopping news the price of coffee is commencing to rise; if you've been watching the commodity markets this shouldn't be a surprise.  I wonder if the tariff blackguards are going to make it even worse.

Cage free ... to many variables to explain.  Cage up to Free Range to Pasture Raised...

 

 

Now Brown eggs ... easy to explain ...

As stated, never boring ...

 

Today ... usual 2 XL eggs, with leftovers (wife's noodle & veggies) added, along with spicy bologna, and topped with fried garlic & crispy fried onion chili oil.

 

Yesterday ... more 'French' scrambled, flavored / cooked w/butter & just pepper for seasoning.

That's nuts.  I'd have to raise chickens if living there, just for principle of not getting ripped off.

 

Here / TH, not really worth the effort, since only $1.69 a dozen.  Especially since away from house / garden a couple months a year, at a week or 2 at a time.

At the border people are being sited for smuggling eggs to US.

$4.95 a dozen there recently. Here I get 30 for 130 baht average, $3.84 USD. One thing for sure here that is less.

 

When was the last time your kids spoke to you? 😊

That's quite a discrepancy from current prices.

Today. And the prices are different all over...............https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/APU0000708111. I didn't ask her today about egg prices but they were around $5 when I visited there last December.........https://www.sofi.com/learn/content/average-cost-of-a-dozen-eggs/.

There was nothing confusing about my question, but thanks for the emoticon.

I don't know what your graphs have to do with my question. Apart from anything else, it's out of date.

You stated that your kids told you. US$4.95 is a long way from US$9+

Anyway, forgedaboudit. 

Eggs are pricy in the U.S of A.
