Thanks to low carb diets, we already know this. Big Gov and her food pyramid are crocks.

So, “they” destroyed the egg business, ran in and purchased the assets, and now eggs are good again.
“They” are rich.

I’ve put on about 30 pounds in the last 15 years and I owe it to promotions (desk time), Scotch, and Sake. I’ve gotta get back below 160 or I’ll be in trouble...genetic history tells me that at least.
