Don’t mess with Darwin’s Theory. If the morons want to eat an unhealthy diet and die young then let them. Besides, if fewer people eat eggs then we won’t have the horrible chicken farms which produce such miserable conditions for the poor creatures (lower demand brings down the need to produce).

@ Matibu: On average I use anywhere from 4-5 whole eggs per day. In the morning, I make a 5 egg white, 3 whole egg (pastured eggs) omelete, and later on in the day, I’ll have 2-3 more whole eggs as part of another meal.

[...] just loved Tony Gentilcore’s rant on the questions he gets at the checkout over the number of eggs he buys. We get similar questions about how we get through so many eggs, but since we buy them at the [...]

When you work with the public, you are always trying to make small talk, so saying that’s a lot of eggs is fine - but yes, then acting all Dr Oz is foolish. Poeple never think to comment when people eat crap, but will say you are “obsessed” with healhty eating if you make smart food choices. It bothers me evern more with my teenage girls. Parents will comment when I put out fruit (and some cookies), that are my girls going to have problems with eating if I “always” offer healthy food, but eating Doritos at the beach at 10AM - normal.
Tony - I miss you on the FitCast!

I regularly get (unrequested) diet advice from the (you guessed it, overweight, HBP,) lady from the cafe at the gym.
First it was too many eggs, then too much tuna.
Then I politely showed her referenced studies on the subjects to go against her ‘they say’ anecdotal stories.
But no-one questions the person who buys a large ’skinny’ latte, ham and cheese toasted sandwich, and banana choc chip muffin for breakfast! (Roughly 200gms processed carbs!)
I try to be nice!

Hey Tony-
Thanks for the great article!!! I do have a question though. Both Brian and yourself have posted how food intake does not impact your blood cholesterol. It would be great if you posted what does impact your blood cholesterol. Great blog btw.

The folks at my Trader Joe’s are always really friendly, but it never fails, they always comment on my large quantities of Fage Greek yogurt. They always ask what I eat it with, if it’s “just for me”, or what I make with it. They just can’t figure out what one person does with all that yogurt. I EAT it.
