Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Why are people so afraid of eggs? Have we been so brainwashed to think we should limit ourselves to 2 eggs a day? I've started eating 4-5 eggs a day just to do the opposite and I've been feeling much better since.
War on eggs started long before war on meat.
I remember when everyone pretty much accepted that eggs will give you heart attack. Crazy really. They are one of the most efficient nutrition sources.
I've been telling my mom this for years but she can't get it through her head. Her doctor tells her to avoid eggs because of cholesterol and that's all she can believe because every one of her doctors says the same thing and why would I know better than them? I learned years ago that serum cholesterol does NOT come from what you eat, your body actually produces it and it's necessary to live. I'm sure now that the FDA dietary guidelines are designed to make people deficient in every vital nutrient.
They are brainwashed because the American Heart Association said eggs make cholesterol go up which causes heart problems, heart attacks. Just more lies to get us to eat grains, sugary cereal. I believe that was late 80s or early 90s. I could be wrong about what org said they were bad. Possibly the gov, fda, or division that did the food pyramid. By the way the higher your cholesterol the better for your brain health. I eat at least two eggs a day and sometimes four. The more eggs I eat the better I lose weight and they keep me full a very long time.
