STUPID EGG STORY

EGG FACTS: Eggs contain all the essential protein, minerals and vitamins, except Vitamin C. But egg yolks are one of few foods that naturally contain Vitamin D.

Again, I contribute this to the Florida school system. Please keep in mind that I was a Culinary Arts instructor, so this REALLY took me by surprise. My entire life I liked eating eggs. Well, they would have to be fried, over easy or scrambled. I was never a fan of the hard-boiled egg nor the egg sandwich. But when I moved to Georgia I certainly learned a lot about livestock and farming stuff. Growing up in the big city one doesn't know much about these things. Ok, so from time to time, I would get "weirded out" when eating eggs. So grossed out that at times I couldn't eat them. I thought (please don't laugh too hard) of that egg on my plate as a unborn baby chicken and at times couldn't eat it at all. I'd have to psych myself into eating it.
HAHAH...I'm sure, so one day I was telling this to our AG teacher and he most certainly got a big belly laugh about it. He made me sit down, after he stopped laughing and wiping the tears from his eyes and explained that the egg on my breakfast plate was not a fertilized egg.
Why don't the school in south Fla teach this kind of stuff? I went 40 years being grossed out by a little egg. Imagine how many innocent people are out there that still think what I used to think?
