Public urged to consume more eggs in the EGG E EGG EGG 2015 Event

BANGKOK, 13 July 2015, (NNT) - Residents have flocked to buy discounted eggs, in the campaign promoting egg consumption among the public, EGG E EGG EGG 2015, held at Central Plaza Rattanathibet on Sunday.

The 2nd annual event, organized by the Department of Livestock, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, offered fresh eggs, salty eggs, fermented eggs, egg tofu, and chili paste made from eggs, supplied by egg farms nationwide.

One of the vendors said the event was well-received by the public. He dismissed the myth that consuming too many eggs would induce high cholesterol, saying the egg contains many nutrients suitable for people of all ages.

Currently the average price of an egg is 2.70 baht; the price is likely to increase by 10 satang this week. EGG E EGG EGG 2015 aims to increase the average number of eggs consumed, from 200 eggs per person per year in 2012 to 300 eggs per person per year in 2018.

Thai officialdom is well used to eggs, unfortunately for them the eggs tend to be all over their faces.

In other news reports around the kingdom are telling of foul smells in public areas seems smells are of rotten eggs type. Officials say reports are eggsaterion of facts. Officials blame farmers and Burmese.

They should have stolen the catch line from an old

UK advert to promote egg consumption.

This goes hand in hand with another economic push, this time from the health dept, increasing treatments for those suffering high cholesterol.

Possible problem with the work bit?

Isn't it nice to see how concerned this government is about the local people's wellbeing, I'm impressed...

Thankfully they didn't employ Eggwina Curry as their PR person. Who was responsible for single handedly decimating the British Egg industry in 1988.

I still find it strange that uncooked eggs in SE Asia are not kept refrigerated. I eat plenty of eggs, so it's obviously not an issue. Just takes some getting used too seeing them stacked in the open in such a hot environment.

This has to be some kind of yolk.

[wabothai]

eggmania with regular updates on egg consumption. Not to forget "we are confident that egg consumption will rise with 10% this month". Kind of like Madame's spins.

[manhood]

YES......eat more eggs, more meat, drink more milk and more and more fast food to get more and more fat!!!!!!!!!!

This is the health programm of this government! Gush!

Can i assume given the shortage of water they are advocating fried rather than boiled?
