Thank you for the infrormative link, Smokie36!

I ADORE yolk!

The white part looks and tastes boring and useless.. but they say that is where the protein is. Sometimes (every spring) when I get all 'Yo, I'm gonna get a six pack for the summer' I devour copious amounts of raw egg whites. Let me tell you, brother, egg whites are not tasty at all! And six pack never happens! of course that could be due to avoiding gym. Or, it could simply all be a vast egg white conspiracy

If you are trying to eliminate meat from your diet then protein sources are limited; I tend to consume milk, eggs, tuna and bits and bobs like tofu. And in that list, eggs are by far the most versatile.

I tend to eat fish and squid instead of meat. Seems to do the trick. Also widely available in Thai dishes, which make up 90% of what I eat anyway.

And to another poster above, I would be tempted to remove bacon from your diet as much as possible before starting to fret over egg consumption. I understand the more up to date medical boffins frown on regular cured meat consumption

If I'm the "other poster", I dont fret about eggs. In fact I dont fret about anything. I just dont eat many of them for reasons that were explained.

I do eat a small amount of bacon. Why? For the same reason that I eat one egg: I like it. Apart from that I never eat cured meat.

Moderation is the key, I think.

I wish I knew why people keep on fretting about me fretting.

people are such a caring and thoughtful lot on TV.........

The white part looks and tastes boring and useless.. but they say that is where the protein is.

People who throw away yolks maybe surprised to learn that 43% of an egg's protein is in the yolk.

Plenty of eggs yesterday evening in Friendship B40 for 6, also the store very well stocked with everything else as well

Eggs this afternoon in my local 7-11. Hens eggs, those pink ones and others too. First time in over a week.

Maybe the hens are working overtime now?
