White House: End American Egg Board’s Easter Egg Roll

It's the only tactic that he has. He cannot defend the nonsense that he posts. Eggs are healthy in moderation. Like all foods.

why in moderation, why not a dozen per day? lots of terrible things won't kill you in moderation such as hard liquor.

I refuted you on the so-called growth of veganism and whether its healthy or not and you still refuse to answer. Every time you get proven wrong you try to weasel your way out. Why am I not surprised.

"so -called" growth of eating less meat, and even eliminating it? yes the trend is growing not shrinking.

Honestly, I've never seen a person so desperate to conjure an argument from thin air.

veganism, vegetarianism and healthy eating are growing every year. numb nuts who eat factory farmed red meat at every meal are dying off.

BS. Perhaps that is your perception, but 99.5% of the population don't give a damn what Vegans eat. Why this tiny sliver of people think they have any power is beyond me.

why do you think they want "power"? they are just eating differently. Just opening your eyes and eating a little less meat falls into this category also.
People eat differently than they did in the 40's.

No, in general, militant vegans want to end food practices 99.5% of the population are involved in. They want special treatment and accommodation in the work place, and in eating establishments, etc..

None of your arguments has a leg to stand on. You have no facts, just trolling. Keep digging that hole though, its fun to expose people like this for all to see.

What is true is that the amount of propaganda against meat consumption has increased considerably. It has gathered steam as a means to reduce hothouse climate gasses recently. Personally I feel the vegans are nuts, but that's okay, if they don't proselytize too much. Then they come over like any sales person and become an annoying plague.

not really. it's the quality of the meat people eat in the US that's dangerous. lunch meat, fast food, factory farmed meat.

Grass fed beef and bison is superior to what most people eat.

weak argument.

You're as bad as the anti gun folks.

If I post articles showing dumb gun owners shooting themselves, does that make them all dangerous gun owners?

Weak?

So storming private businesses, and demanding recognition and accommodation is just an anomaly? Sorry, but the evidence doesn't support your contention.

Eat and live as you will, but don't demand 99.5% of the population bend to that decision.

My only complaint about the easter egg roll is the fact that easter has nothing/nada/zilch to do with eggs or a bunny. But that's up to the individual.

It depends on the meaning one pours into any tradition. From a Christian tradition standpoint, Easter eggs most certainly have everything to do with Easter. They symbolize the tomb and resurrection. ;)

The Cadbury bunny lays chocolate eggs. Everybody knows this.

Joking aside, the Easter Hare has it's roots in Christian tradition as well. Look it up. ;)

they confuse relentlessly selling their bull**** to everyone around them as people actually caring about their bull****.

The American Egg Board tried to quash Hampton Creek’s Just Mayo—an eggless, plant-based mayonnaise—last year. It lost. Now it’s time to get the American Egg Board out of the White House. It will supply more than 30,000 hard-boiled eggs for the White House Easter Egg Roll on March 28.

It’s a scheme the industry-backed organization uses to push disease-causing eggs to even the youngest Americans. Thanks to marketing like this, 1 in 5 children in the United States has high cholesterol. This places them at greater risk for future diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

At the Physicians Committee’s International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine: Cardiovascular Disease last summer, Gerald Berenson, M.D., presented research showing many children have at least one risk factor for heart disease by the time they reach elementary school. In his long-running Bogalusa Heart Study, Dr. Berenson’s team found that signs of hypertension and atherosclerosis can appear by ages 5 to 8.

But there is hope. At the conference, Michael Macknin, M.D, presented a groundbreaking study finding that dietary interventions can reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors in children. In the study, overweight children who adopted a plant-based diet lost weight, reduced cholesterol levels, and improved blood pressure numbers within weeks.

The White House can do its part to help stop heart disease and diabetes in children by putting an end to the American Egg Board’s Easter egg roll and hatching a plan for a healthier way to help children celebrate the holiday.

"Thanks to marketing like this, 1 in 5 children in the United States has high cholesterol. This places them at greater risk for future diabetes and cardiovascular disease."

That's not really correct. 1 in 5 12-19 yr olds have one abnormal lipid level. this could be low HDL and normal LDL for instance. and its preteen and teenagers.
In reading the actual study the more indicative issue is that 22.3% of all youth who had any of these lipid abnormalities were overweight and 43.9 % were Obese.
The most prevalent were the 18-19 yr olds and boys had the issue a lot more than girls . that's probably not a big surprise I suppose.

Aside from all of that chicken eggs while they do have a lot of cholesterol in them , have very little effect on blood cholesterol ( per the mayo clinic ).

Great link to a notion that we are to admire a symbol. I would like to see the corresponding bible verse.

What is wrong with admiring a symbol? It's not as if we are worshiping them. I would like to see the corresponding Bible verse condemning them. ;)

Perhaps you've heard of little crackers and tiny plastic cups of grape juice?

May I ask what denomination (if any) you are?
