Salmonella

You cook them, solved.

High choleserol

You don’t base your diet on 100% eggs, limiting your diet to any one food will be damaging regardless.

Prostate cancer

Sure, higher risk, from what baseline? Varies massively per-person, and people’s risk-tolerance is subjective… Personally I don’t really care.

Diabetes

Again, significantly higher chance, from what baseline? 0.02 is 100% higher than 0.01, misleading.

Fuck me you’re still going on about this? Man get a life with some real problems… Didn’t know people could get so pressed about fucking eggs.

Clearly wasn’t a particularly good university, and anyway, this is nutrition, not health.

Well unfortunately you haven’t got what you wanted, you clearly have a very simple view on nutrition, and a concerning lack of intelligence.

What is an egg? It is a vessel to grow a living organism in a self-contained environment, providing all the resources needed to do so.

Resources such as:

• Vitamins
• Amino-acids
• Antioxidants
• Healthy, unsaturated fats

If an egg was so bad for your health, I ask you quite simply, how the hell do they support a chick during a very intense time of rapid growth?

That’s like saying being in a womb is unhealthy for a developing foetus.

Please, next time, perhaps try updating your knowledge to something a bit more modern than WW2 before “jumping in and correcting” anyone again. With the constant stream of AI slop onto the internet, the last thing we need is human slop too.

100% this, thankfully I’m lucky enough that in the near future I may be living in a quiet cottage. It’s always been a goal of mine to be self-sufficient, and that process will begin there.

Again, scale.

How much of the meat produced is actually eaten? What’s the chance for each garment produced to actually be worn more than once?

The current system can downsize significantly without needing to raise prices, as we’re already in a significant surplus.

The point at which products are no longer guaranteed due to demand is when the prices have to go up.

As much as I find chickens, and all avians in general, cute and I find it sickening the way they are treated… I do love eggs, they’re tasty, versatile, easy to cook, and unbelievably healthy.

I think the differential we have to identify is one thing, and that is scale.

I am not a vegan, I do not believe it is wrong to consume animals or animal-sourced products, however I do support animal welfare and believe that if we are to raise livestock for consumption they should be treated as the sentient, thinking, feeling creatures that they are and cared for accordingly.

Imagine instead of human and animal rights we just had “sentient rights”, for example.

Being able to test for sentience is a topic in and of itself, and out of scope for my argument.

I think there is no harm done in, a hypothetical world where people had the space to do such a thing, raising our own livestock, limited to individual homesteads or the immediate settlement (a local town market, for example).

The line where it becomes unethical is quite obvious really, are the animals treated as living things, or machines to simply fuel and feed to grow them for slaughter and harvest? Yes, in my example of fair treatment the goal may be to raise them for eventual slaughter, but its their lifelong treatment where this applies, not the overall objective.

Damn right it’s a national security concern, let the US keep it’s spyware to itself.
