I was talking to somebody, maybe Steve, and he said that the woman at the farmer's market told him some of her customers carefully go through the egg cartons and then remove all the brown and blue eggs, oddly they will only buy a carton of perfectly uniform white shelled eggs.
I am going to be honest with you. I really don't understand this behavior. I don't think there is much difference in either quality or nutritional value. I also don't believe that brown eggs come from inferior, third world countries, brought up from the south with the screwworms by those nefarious souls that would wish to bring harm to our country.
Now I am not inferring white supremacy in the colored egg haters decisions or making any statements on the supreme goal of colored egg diversity but I do find the selection process somewhat curious.
Perhaps the white shells more perfectly match the trendy new "navajo vanilla " color of french enameled cookware? Of course I champion your right to eat any colored egg you wish.
I used to raise chickens and I favored the blue or green eggs actually. True or not, I was once told that araucana eggs, the blueish ones, had slightly less cholesterol and more protein and I chose to believe it. [ed. note; It is true] Plus, I personally find them far prettier.

People get real crazy with theology.
I have a neighbor who will kill any snake on his property, including harmless kings, garter and garden varieties because of something the bible supposedly says about evil serpents.
Such a strange world we live in.
