Talking with a classmate...
"You don't need a rooster to get eggs?"
"How do you makle sure you're not eating a baby chick?"
"Won't a chick come out of the egg if its fertilized?"
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! You can eat fertilzed eggs!?!?!?!"

She drives me nuts in other ways, too.

ETA: Oh yeah, and
"So you hatch eggs by buying them from the store- (at this point she is corrected, yet trails on this idea for several more minutes)"

There's probably more...

Wow. My friend just told me this:

Eggs don't come out from a chicken white. They come out this yucky yellow color, but they don't sell well like that. So the egg companies feed some chemical to the chickens to make the eggs white.

Ahem....... No comment.....

My little sister said something the other day.... I wish I could remember because this was the thread that came to mind when she finished. Darn...

I work in a large inner city NICU (newborn intensive care).We draw from a large area of Ohio.
Consequently, we get babies from all types of families.
One day an Amish family was visiting their baby and a young
innercity mom (teenage) asked, "Are those people Pilgrims?"

Funny post . My ex-sisterinlaw once stated, there was no way she would eat a egg from a yard chicken. My brother asked her why, she said she wasn't eating anything that comes out of a chickens bu%%, that she would stick with the factory eggs. True story. Had a lady tell me once that marshmellows came from a marshmellow tree!

Please ask your friend how she knows this and what chemical is fed to the chickens. I am sure the FDA would like to know. So would I.

Well, no sources, but now it's that raw chicken sold in stores have been injected with dye. So there's no dye in feed for laying hens, but they inject CX with dye to change their color.

No. Marshmallows are mammals. They live in the swamp.

Duh! Marshmallow cream comes from somewhere!

And I will not eat baby marshmallows. They are the veal of the marshmallow world.

Here is a picture of some marshmallows leaving the swamps, to graze in the fields.



And here they are, at the end of the day, heading home. It's milking time.

Interestingly, that lady isn't completely off about marshmallows coming from a tree. They used to be made from a plant, hence the (correct spelling of the) name, derived from the name of the plant -- Marsh Mallow (Althaea officinalis).

Some "city slickers" know things that "country people" might not. I wonder how long a thread going that way would last......

I remembered what my little sister said....

The other day I was making egg salad, and had used a few of my blue/green eggs. While I was peeling the eggs, my little sister (7) came to watch, and she got all upset. I asked her what was wrong and she said (very emphatically), "You should NOT have used those GREEN EGGS!!!"
"Why not?" I asked.
"Because it will make the egg salad taste awkward!! I'm not eating it."
"But Naomi, the color of the shell doesn't make the egg taste different. It's just a color."
"I still don't think I'm going to eat it..."

She's a funny child...
Of course that conversation triggered an explanation of egg color genes to my older sister who was also in the kitchen.
