Abby spotted this dubious bit of dietary advice at her local supermarket in Catonsville, Maryland.
Adds Abby: “Maybe whoever wrote this should spend all the free time they have (obviously a lot) researching the nutritional value of eggs (protein) vs. fruit (carbs).”

And not all cholesterol is bad for you — in fact much of the cholesterol in an egg is necessary for healthy life.
This is why uninformed people should not give health advice.

Ooo! Let’s eat Big Macs! They only have 27g of fat and a not-at-all disgusting 530 cals! But, this made me curious, so I explored: http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-living/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/expert-blog/eggs-and-heart-disease/bgp-20056252

You’re absolutely right. These eggs should not be going down my gullet! They would be put to much better use if they were splattered across your windshield.

Why am I picturing a chicken in the egg section of the supermarket, wearing stilts, an overcoat, a hat and sunglasses and taping these notes to the egg cartons?
I hate when people tell me what I should/shouldn’t eat. Bugger off, food police.

Apparently the note writer doesn’t understand that not all cholesterol is bad. However what is bad is sticking your nose in other peoples business.

The scariest part about it is that it’s true. Big Mac cholesterol content: 75 mg. One large egg cholesterol content: 195 mg. It makes you thing again before eating this two-eggs-bacon-sausage breakfast.

All letters like this tempt me to do is buy every single egg in the store then throw an egg eating party outside a vegan restaurant. Making sure to blow up the original note as decoration so they know that their attempts to police my eating habits badly backfired.
And I’m not even all that fond of eggs.

If you’d like to make suggestions on what people eat, go to school and become a nutritionalist. Aren’t a nutritionalist? Keep your food opinions to yourself.

JUST LET ME EAT WHAT I FUCKING WANT TO!
I hate to be that person, but you really only do live once, and I don’t intend on leaving this world starving and unhappy. I’m gonna eat every good god damn thing that I feel like. And that doesn’t mean I’m going to be fat and sick and dying of heart disease and diabetes either, because along with a sense of taste, I was also born with a brain. Christ on a cracker give this shit a rest!

The human body needs protein AND carbs (and fat). Abby should spend a little more time researching the opinions of actual Nutritional Experts.

Drat, I’ve been trying for two days now to come up with an “omelette you finish” joke…and I can’t do it.
Anyone else want to take a crack (hee hee) at it?

Ah, I love the food police, but I love the grossed out by food people more. Today in the grocery store, after buying mussels. Woman: “you should tie that bag up so they don’t leak.” Me: “they won’t leak, and that would be a bad idea since they’ll suffocate and then be inedible.” Woman: “wait…those are still alive? That’s cruel! You’re disgusting.” Me: “Everything you eat was alive before it wasn’t…even plants. Besides, no one asked you to eat them…”

I think it is common knowledge by now that eggs are not that bad at all. We can consume 1 egg a day I think.

I followed this note’s advice and tried the fruit salad, but my bread came out really weird. Maybe I’m doing it wrong.

Perhaps this jerk didn’t get the memo that dietary cholesterol is not unhealthy. http://authoritynutrition.com/top-9-biggest-lies-about-dietary-fat-and-cholesterol/

Note-writer is obviously unaware that as dietary consumption of cholesterol goes up, the body’s production of it goes down. Also; fuck you, Note-writer.
