I thought the American Heart Association had reversed its previous egg restriction and say that an egg a day is fine. And that’s what I follow now, an egg for breakfast every day.

Well, yes, I do know several people with dairy allergies and I have to be careful myself!

Heather, yes, that thought had occured to me too.
And Jim, I had no idea about the pesticide crisis from the 50s and 60s. Maybe we use different pesticides today. I only buy free range eggs with the straw still on them from a local farm shop.

Ellee – just think how much more attention this “ban” of a 50 year old advert has received than if it had just been aired…

I for one always need a boiled egg to send me off in a morning.

I’m afraid the egg-farmer is mistaken – indeed chlorinated and other pesticides can indeed be absorbed into the fatty yolks of eggs before they are protected by the shell. Remember the pesticide crisis of the 50s and 60s when birds of prey were sitting on eggs that never hatched?

And that’s no yolk.

Graham, fantastic to hear from you. I know moderation sounds a boring word, and I actually prefer eggs to chocolate as I don’t have a sweet tooth. Glad to know you will still be enjoying your eggs too.

Have you ever heard such nonsense from those who want to ban eggs? How many dozen a day will you have to consume to send cholesterol soaring? Moderation in all things is my moto – chocolate, alcohol, butter.
