I am only one person; but I believe eggs are close to the
perfect food. When the Cholesterol "Scare" came out 30
years ago I instantly concluded they were Crazy as they said
don't eat eggs and other very nutritious food but sugar was
OK. When we can get good eggs from a small farm we eat a
lot of them.
I went on vacation to Mexico. At breakfast in the Hotel
Cafeteria the tourists were anxiously concerned about the
ORANGE colored yolks of the eggs. They did not know what a
good egg looked like.
