Have you heard the news? The “incredible, edible egg” is back in the news – and it’s all good! Check out the health benefits of eggs here.
I grew up on eggs, eggs, eggs! My mother and I went to a neighboring farm to buy fresh eggs, and we ate them frequently. Very frequently. Almost daily. Fast forward to the 1980’s and we began eating eggs only on weekends, due to the concerns of cholesterol and the role eggs played in this health concern in the news.
Back then, I can remember my Dad talking with my grandmother about her daily egg habit, trying to see if she might consider paring down. She told him that she had been eating an egg a day for her entire life and she “wasn’t going to stop now”. She lived into her late 90’s.
