This was back in 1991, when Poppy Bush was in office.
I suspect today, there would be repeated and aggressive attempts at intervention. The Nutritionists would not leave him alone.
This almost sounds like addictive behavior. We can become emotionally addicted to anything, any pattern or ritual.
It also sounds as if he was asking for help with that addiction (’Eating these eggs ruins my life, but I can’t help it!”). That can’t have been good for bowel function.
The eating of eggs was his way to cope with getting through another day of lonliness. I would strongly suspect this gentleman is long dead at this time.
If he was 88 in 1990-91, then he’d be 118 by now....................
I average 3 extra large free run eggs a day, and have for 20+ years. I have eaten as many as a dozen, but try to eat 3 per day. They do not constipate you or give you gas if you soft boil or cook them sunnyside up. Hard boiled eggs are those culprits. My cholesterol? Who cares? It is not an indicator of anything except for a trigger for the doctor to become pharmaceutical salesman. Taking cholesterol lowering medications, lowers brain function. The brain is a very high percentage cholesterol in its makeup.
These eggs are ruining my life, is probably a function of everyone telling him his diet was bad for him and would kill him. I can easily eat a dozen eggs a day, and eat at least 3 a day for 28 years.
