Thais eat more eggs in 2016

 

BANGKOK, 31 March 2017 (NNT) - Thai people’s egg consumption has increased to 240 eggs/year following campaigns for egg consumption by the public and private sectors. 

A committee of the project to campaign for the consumption of 300 eggs has cooperated with egg manufacturers, traders, exporters and farmers to continue the campaign for egg consumption for the second year. In 2016, the campaign arranged activities to make all groups of consumers feel more confident to eat eggs, resulting in an increase in egg consumption to 240 eggs/year. The campaign also helped to support Thai egg farmers and prevent a price drop. 

Chairman of the committee Rewat Hathaisattayaphong confirmed that eggs can be eaten daily according to the Institute of Nutrition, Mahidol University and the Department of Health under the Ministry of Public Health. Eggs are recommended for children, teenagers, adults, and healthy senior people. High-blood pressure patients and those with high cholesterol should eat one egg per week or as recommended by doctors. 

This year, the committee will campaign for egg research in Thailand and giving eggs as gifts in important festivals. It hopes that this campaign will increase the national egg consumption to 300 eggs/year and prevent an oversupply of eggs in the market.

I think the increase is more because eggs are the cheapest form

of protein,and when people have to tighten the purse strings they

will eat more eggs.Pla too  which has always been  the food of

choice for the poorest folks is now gone up in price,so they turn 

to eggs.

The egg white is full of great proten.One of the benefits of this is that it truly helps your kidneys to function properly. As opposed of what I have been doing for years , flushing mine out with a good whiskey.

Humpty Dumpty's fatal accident when I was a child put me off eggs forever.

I can tell a good egg from a rotten egg by the color density of its egg yolk.
