Oh there were LOTS of worse names running through my mind at the time, trust me. In the future, I think that I'll "just happen to be running low on duck eggs right now, so sorry." I get a massage at my chiropractor every other week or so and there's a rotation there as to who gets the duck eggs each time because between my neighbor (who actually buys lettuce and cherry tomatoes specifically as duck treats because she loves my ducks so much!), my therapist, friends, my husband's foodie coworkers, etc, it's not like I don't have plenty of people who just love getting my ducks' eggs.

Definitely don't waste them on anyone who doesn't appreciate them, as your mother clearly does not. They're too precious to waste. I only give my eggs to those whom I feel truly appreciate their value. My girls free range all day and they are supplemented with organic feed that I drive almost 50 miles to pick up from our co-op. Many people truly appreciate that, as they try to eat local and organic as much as possible. So, I'm happy to contribute. But, for those who think they're getting "free" eggs (hah!), "So sorry, I just don't have any extras right now". One of my best friends eats only processed foods (edible food-like substances), the cheapest she can find, and "doesn't cook". Needless to say, she doesn't get my eggs. She doesn't appreciate the difference between them and store-brand grocery store eggs, so I'm not wasting them.

I felt similar when someone asked to buy a dozen eggs, then proceeded to tell me she only eats egg whites and chucks the yolks. Eats 6 whites a day. I felt like, gee lady, you are throwing out the most nutritious part! My ladies work to make the whole egg. She said yolks are yucky.

I think yolks are the tastiest part!

I also dislike straight yolks which is why I almost always eat scrambled eggs. Allows me to get the major nutrition while having better taste. Although recently, I've made more hard boiled as my chicks love the yolks. Works out for all of us.

Some people try to lower the cholesterol by eating just the whites but sounds to me like she's just weird lol

Eating egg white omelettes was all the rage in the 70's, for fear the fat/cholesterol in egg yolks was bad for your heart. The nutritional value of eggs lies primarily in the yolk. Turns out that was all malarkey, just like the notion that margarine is better for you than butter. Deconstructing food and reducing it to its most basic elements, then keeping some while tossing others, is a fool's errand. Margarine is a processed "edible food-like substance" that has proven to be horrid for your health ... especially when it's made from corn, soy, or canola oil that comes from GMO plants that have been sprayed with Round-Up. It's typically heated during processing to temps that change the chemical composition of the oils, making them dangerous. Churning cows milk/cream doesn't change its chemical make-up. With butter, as all other natural whole foods, what you see is what you get. Any whole, natural, sustainably/organically grown food is better than anything that comes out of a factory. Chemicals in processed foods are what isn't good for you.

Yepp yepp yepp yepp yepp!!!!! X5000000000

I remember growing up everyone was all about the "fat free" diet. What "fat free" means is "real ingredients replaced with chemical crap"

I 100% agree! Was saying some people still do it.

In fact, I think it might be making a come back because as of late I've seen 2 articles about how eggs could possibly be bad and one said to have egg whites instead or if you must have the yolk have 2 whites for every yolk to reduce the cholesterol. Seems stupid to me. Yeah maybe you get a little higher cholesterol but I doubt it's anything remotely similar to the amount of cholesterol in bacon loaded triple cheese burgers lol did spook me a bit tho ha the other was some vegan and more animal rights so not sure that's credible.

But yeah, i never understood how margarine got started it is gross and so unhealthy.

And keto diets seem to rely on fat?

It can be good if you do it right.

And also for example today at Subway at least 2 or 3 people got light mayo on their subs, some of them a little bit chubbier people. I guess they believe light mayo somehow makes things healthier. While chowing down all that bread on those subs? And one guy got a soda, chips, and cookies too. But the mayo and the fat is the problem? But my point is also they replace the fat with.... ??? What?? Likely something nasty. Like sugar? Cause when they remove the fat they have to add something else back in to make it taste better right? So these people are getting light mayo yet chowing down bread and/or lunch meat and a soda. Really rather entertaining to me lol

I get very light mayo on a sandwich, or usually none at all. I don't like mayo. Friend of mine uses so much it oozes out. I can't watch her eat it as it makes me gag.
