Egging on the health fascists.

New reports are now saying that eating more than 3 eggs a week apparently does not cause: impotence, nervous dyspepsia, imbecility, heart attacks, strokes, male pattern baldness, infertility, moral degeneracy, piles, lumbago, the wibbly-wobblies, creeping lurgi, world wars and ingrowing toenails.
Strange that. The health fascists had looked to have been onto a real winner up to this point. Four decades-worth of listening to pseudo-science and we all fell for it - as usual!
[Remember when Woody Allen woke up many years into the future in 'Sleeper' to discover that the new 'health food' was cream cakes?]
PS. I had mine scrambled this morning.
PPS. I have gone back to butter too.

Phew.
