Really, this article could be called "The War On Food," but that category is far to broad and I felt that narrowing it down to one particular item would be best.

The War On Eggs is a recent development embraced by the mass media. It is a bold faced attempt to demonize a valuable source of protein so that an unthinking populace can be persuaded to switch to other less desirable protein sources.

Remeber?

This war is on again and off again. Science just cannot figure out if eggs are good for you or are silently killing you...

The 1968 American Heart Association announced a dietary recommendation that all individuals consume less than 300 mg of dietary cholesterol per day and no more than three whole eggs per week. This recommendation has not only significantly impacted the dietary patterns of the population, but also resulted in the public limiting a highly nutritious and affordable source of high quality nutrients, including choline which was limited in the diets of most individuals.^[1]

As suddenly as the AHA's report told us that eggs were bad, the egg industry responded with it's own study saying that eggs are incredible (and edible).

No one can really predict the future when it comes to the commercialization of science, but in the next 25 years, it is reasonable to expect that, in basic science, agriculture, and now protein bioprocessing, the chicken will continue to provide benefits to society. In the end, chicken could be the source of several therapeutic proteins that are “good for what ails you.”^[2]

There is no wonder that the populace cannot figure out if eggs are good or bad. Usually, I would tell you to follow the money, and I still think that is a good idea (see below), because usually somebody is trying to manipulate facts so they can make a shitload of it.

Why?

The domestic laying hen is a very efficient protein bioreactor.
