Mornin' there Wade <g>
I dunno what else to tell you, the tendency toward egg eating in chickens may be exacerbated by poor feeding practices, or a boring life in the chicken pen, or simply chicken perversity - and having raised them off and on most of my life, I can vouch for the perversity of chickens. If they weren't so dumb and easily distracted they'd probably be extinct or else occupy positions of great power in gov't. But really Walt<g>, you actually smash up the bodies of dead unborn baby birds and EAT them??!@
Take care,  Malcolm

Evening Dan,

This seems to be a rather stiff charge against the best food on the face of the earth.

To use unhealthy chickens and improper poultry growing practices to prove a point in human nutrition seems a bit unscientific to me.

Back to the real world, How long do I have to eat raw eggs before I keel over from this defect in the egg?

I think you would have to get into food transit time to substantiate this.

As a matter of fact, I have been very lax on taking my B vitamins for some time. I have been eating raw eggs for a few years.

I turned 65 yesterday. I still work very hard, feel very energetic, about like I did when 40 years old.

I feel that 99% of the mainstream information about foods, health, and nutrition is absolutely worthless, or much worse. Most of my friends who have believed it and practiced it are very sick or dead.

Gradually, little by little, I am beginning to feel that a very large percent of everything I have learned in 45 years of study, may not be as valuable as I once thought it to be.

Today my own instinct and how I feel seems to hold much more weight.

I read a book, many years ago, whereas the introduction stated, "If you eat nothing but fresh, raw fruits and vegetables, ...... You don't even need to waste your time reading this book".

My plans are to make changes from age 65 forward. The decisions are very hard.

I filled out a bogus questionnaire this week. One question was, "Are you allergic to any medications"?

My Answer, .....  "How would I know, I don't take any".

So, now I find our bad news about my friend the egg.  <grin>
