Eating Fertilized eggs

[Dipsy Doodle Doo]

Nutritionally or tastewise, there shouldn't be a difference between fertilized / unfertilized, white / brown / blue (in fact, I just took $50 from a knucklehead who betted he could taste the difference between white eggs and brown eggs --- he couldn't).
My problem is my partner-in-crime / buddy keeps telling our customers that blue /green eggs are lower in cholesterol. I don't find any studies that support the theory.
She can''t produce any 'scientific' findings to back that up, but says it is common knowledge that blue / green eggs are lower in cholesterol --- I say FOOEY and they are no different.

We ate whatever eggs came our way. As long as they weren't bad (I.e. the yolk did not hold it's shape). My grandmother raised chickens and her mother before her. My grandmother lived to 107 and my grandmother was 92 when she died. We preferred fertilized eggs, because we assumed they came from happy hens, blood specks happen, no big deal.
I think a lot of current beliefs regarding imperfection, etc being "bad" is promoted by agribusiness. What do you think humans ate 300 years ago?
If we believe everything we hear on the news today regarding agricultural products, no home grown produce would be "safe". My ancestors survived because they grew their own, without the help of todays chemical "must have's" and perceived perfection.
Remember to ask "why", and don't accept "because it's the way we've always done it" or "they said: "blah, blah blah"!".
This is a good place to bust those myths.
