To save people a pointless click:

In the end, your egg depends on what the chicken eats, and the chicken depends on what the farmer feeds it. So, don’t worry too much about the colour – just enjoy your egg!



I found that conclusion weirdly dismissive, given how detailed the carotenes and their effect and regional preferences were described. It doesn't do the article justice to summarize it like that.


The other points are that:

- color preference varies by country

- in mass production, the yolk color can be tweaked by the producer with food additives (e.g. https://www.dsm.com/anh/en_NA/products/carotenoids/carophyll...)


>> 4. I will vote you down if you 'tl;dr and summarise' any article; We're all grown-ups, and we all know how to read thanks.

Isn’t your comment against your own policy?


We all know how to read, but do we all know how to click?


Cognitive dissonance. Believed i didn't have it, i was wrong


did you just research someone’s profile in an attempt to nit pick something they said?

There’s definitely a problem online these days, when people take 5 pages to state 2 sentences worth of points, and it’s not the TLDR people…


did you just waste a min of your time by stating the obvious and trying to add some fuel to fire?

article and discussion is about Eggs! you are free to click and comment on something else if you find it pointless.


> did you just waste a min of your time by stating the obvious and trying to add some fuel to fire?

How is correcting or calling out someone’s sketch behavior wasting time?

> article and discussion is about Eggs! you are free to click and comment on something else if you find it pointless.

Yes and I found it interesting. What gave you the idea that I don’t? Perhaps maybe I don’t talk much on this site and read more articles and comments than you think?

And as far as adding more fuel to the fire, what exactly are you doing?


You get an up-vote for that. Well done!

I felt the whole article was pointless fluff, and just had to call it out. I feel no guilt.


That's Eggstreme @Jaruzel. Humankind would still be living in caves without your public service.
