I mean .... Vance is an idiot, but I have three boys. Between me, my wife, and my three kids, we each eat 2-3 eggs worth of scrambled eggs some mornings. 5x2 is 10, 5x3 is 15. That's right in line with his claims, if he counts himself and wife, which he probably is and just being an idiot again.
That said, I don't have eggs EVERY DAY. FFS my cholesterol would be sky high. I do buy 10-15 dozen eggs at a time, though, because the local farmer's market sells 15 dozen for $25-30 and eggs will keep for 6-10 weeks in the fridge that is consistently the same low, near freezing temp (perfect for the outdoor, secondary fridge).
Cholesterol intake is not directly correlated with blood cholesterol. Eat all the eggs you want. The bigger problem is saturated and trans fat.
One of those egg council creeps got to you too eh?
~~I assume that was a snide remark and not meant to be serious.~~ D'oh!
I'm just a person who has maintained a keto diet in the past and went down this rabbit hole before.
It was a Simpsons reference
Well then, the egg is on my face!! Struck that out. Thanks.
Such a transphobic statement.
