He's got that the wrong way round, I only eat the whites because  
they've got yellow bits in the middle.  I can't think of many worse  
ways of ruining a food than removing the yolk from an egg!  Anyone  
with working taste buds can tell you the yolk is far more nutritious.

And on the basis that humans and dogs have very similar natural diets  
(at least a human can survive off a dog's diet, even if a human diet  
contains too much veg for a dog), it doesn't make sense that  
*anything* you'd give to a dog for nutritional value (ie, not  
commercial dog food) would be unsuitable for humans.  Except bones  
maybe, I don't have a taste for them as an adult.

I just can't think of any sort of reasoning that would lead anyone to  
recommend discarding egg yolks.
