Why on earth would you ever eat fucking eggs?!?!, you ask incredulously.
Good question!
Eggs = 🤮
After all, chickens only have one posterior opening for their digestive, excretory, and reproductive tracts, meaning that everything comes out this hole, or cloaca, whether it be pee, feces, or eggs. So yeah, unless you’re some kinda weirdo who’s into chicken butt food, the thought of putting eggs in your mouth is a double yuck 🤮
But here’s the thing…
Eggs supply almost every necessary nutrient, including vitamins A, D, E, K, B6, and B12, folate, thiamin, biotin, lutein, niacin, and riboflavin, iodine, calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, and a bunch of other vitamins and minerals I’d rather not have to fucking type out. Their nutritive qualities don’t just stop there, folks.
Nope!
In addition to their vitamin and mineral profile, eggs contain all nine essential amino acids, earning it the distinction as a complete source of protein. Also, if you choose a brand with eggs laid by chickens fed a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, your eggs will contain those essential fats too. Yeah, eggs are nutritious as fuck!
It’s thanks to all this nutrition that’s jam-packed inside eggs that they’ve been found to have numerous health effects, such as reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke, improving brain function, helping prevent cell damage, supporting thyroid function and immune system health, protecting the eyesight by helping to prevent macular degeneration and cataracts, etc.
Yeah, I know, eggs sound mighty, mighty tasty right about now!
