They're probably talking about eating those ostrich eggs...

Boiled, fried, scrambled or in an omelette, whole eggs pose a threat to health and eating more of them increases your risk of death, a study claims.
Researchers found eating just half a whole egg — which includes the yolk and the white — increases the likelihood of dying by seven per cent.
Risk of death increases by a further seven per cent for every half an egg on top of this, so a person eating one egg a day has at 14 per cent greater chance of death than someone who avoids the food.
Chinese researchers who led the study believe high fat and cholesterol levels in eggs are to blame.
They warned that people should use only the whites or switch to healthier egg substitutes, which lower the risk of dying.
Substituting an equivalent amount of nuts or legumes for half a whole egg reduced death rates by up to a third. Poultry, dish or dairy products had a similar effect.

I should have died in 1993. 😅
I eat 4-8 per day, everyday
Life is a terminal illness.
Everyone who had ever eaten an egg prior to 1901 has died. That’s a 100% death rate for egg eaters. Be afraid... Be very afraid.
Golly, my step grandad passed away last June just 2 months shy of his 101st birthday. Had he not eaten and egg or two everyday, he would probably have lived to 108.
Unbelievable. I eat 2 eggs twice a week. Including the yokes. Even more when my wife’s tater salad is in the fridge.
I’m not scared.
Yes!
We love Keto and feel great...and, never hungry.
That is great, about hubby.
Amazing way of life.
During the hot days of summer she would let it burn out quickly and had a little propane gas grill she would use for supper and for dinner which was their lunch she had leftovers from breakfast or made sandwiches. She used that stove to heat one end of her house in the winter. I cut many a loads of kindling for that stove with my great grandfather and brothers. The safety nazi’s would crap themselves now days because we started chopping kindling around age 4-5 with gasp, an axe and hatchet!
Listening to radio talker Mike Gallagher mentioning WW points when he has lost over 50 pounds, and a friend losing 35 pounds on WW, I signed up for WW (formerly weight Watchers) and do it all online via the app. One of the three plans is the Purple plan - 300 foods you can eat freely, including potatoes! On Purple I can have anything I want as there’s a daily and weekly number of points for “extras”. Google WW Purple plan.
You can use that big list of food any way - vegan, vegetarian, keto and low carb. There are online boards for all types. It isn’t fast but it’s without pain. I lost my desire for sweets on day one which was a help, and I indulge in potatoes a LOT!
Thanks much for the info.
