Thailand to organize first ever World Egg Day

BANGKOK, 30 September 2014 (NNT) - The Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives will organize the World Egg Day for the first time in Thailand to encourage Thai people to eat chicken eggs according to sex and age. The event is scheduled for 10-14 October in Bangkok.


Inspector of the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives Nirandon Euangtrakunsuk said the Livestock Development Department cooperated with egg farmers and vendors in arranging the World Egg Day. The event was inspired by the Egg Board’s goal to increase the national egg consumption from 200 eggs/person to 300 eggs/person by the year 2018.

The total amount of eggs in the market is expected to be 39.2 million in October, higher than the current amount of 38.8 million. It is therefore necessary for the ministry to increase the national egg consumption so that it is in balance with the increasing egg supply.

The World Egg Day event will take place next month at Siam Square One under the theme “Thai children love eggs.” There will be an exhibition on eggs and egg giveaways. Copies of the “Sun Egg” recipe by Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn will be handed out to the event’s participants.

Thais will organize for Thais - OK , let's call it WORLD Egg Day!

Thais already eat a lot of eggs. Maybe they can have a "Let's stop deep frying out eggs day" instead.

It's WORLD egg day and each country organizes its own events, so no surprise that Thai organize it in Thailand. Americans organize it in America. Brits organize it in Britain. Sorry that it's so difficult for you to understand.

Eat eggs according to sex and age?

I'm struggling to imagine what that means.

I think it means if you are young -- no problem. If you are old and male, avoid too many. Old and female, you can have more.

If you are not having any sex, you do not deserve eggs...try tofu instead.

When reading stuff like that in the OP, sometimes I feel like, I am living in another solarsystem!!w00t.gif

You are...and that solar system is located in the Thai universe where the laws of reality are completely different from other universes.

I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun see how they fly
I'm crying
Sitting on a cornflake waiting for the van to come
Corporation teeshirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you been a naughty boy. You let your face grow long
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob
Mister City Policeman sitting, pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying
Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife pornographic priestess
Boy you been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come
You get a tan from standing in the English rain
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo goo joob
Expert textpert choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you? (Ha ha ha! He he he! Ha ha ha!)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied
I'm crying
Semolina pilchard climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man you should have seen them kicking Edgar Alan Poe
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob
Goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob
Goo gooooooooooo jooba jooba jooba jooba jooba jooba
Jooba jooba
Jooba jooba
Jooba jooba

The Beatles owe a lot to LSD. Never noticed that line about kicking Poe before.

"Thai children love eggs". So do hospitals, doctors, drug companies. No one should eat more than 2-4 eggs a week because of the effect they have on cholesterol and triglycerides. Heart attacks, fatty livers, etc. Eat more eggs, die young and leave your children father/motherless.

Why not turn the eggs into a powder and give (read sell) them to nations that are starving? Good for business and most helpful to others in need.

In view of Thailand's post-coup fall from international grace, I would have thought an Egg-on-Face day would have been more appropriate.

Speaking of egg on face...how about the Asian Olympics. Wahoo! Thailand came in 9th out of 10.

"The total amount of eggs in the market is expected to be 39.2 million in October, higher than the current amount of 38.8 million. It is therefore necessary for the ministry to increase the national egg consumption so that it is in balance with the increasing egg supply."

So CP wants to sell more eggs and the government has very kindly offered to help.

Have a look inside a factory farm at the conditions under which these eggs are produced and you might change your mind. Also these factory farms are a major source of super concentrated effluent full of toxic chemicals and pathogens like Salmonella and E.coli which pollutes waterways and are a human health hazard.

Maybe world egg day could be some kind of fertility ritual instead, celebrating young, fit, nubile human egg carriers. That's a program I could get behind.
