^ This. People are afraid of spots and stuff on their food. Humans are out of touch with natural things.
- Mr_Know1
Because you can't bleach something black.

Set knows it.
Just like they spray apples to make them look more shiny. Take a butter knife to the next apple you eat and scrape the blunt blade against the skin and see the wax spray shed off into a pile of dandruff like flakes.
- LOL. My apple tree makes shiny apples! This is a weird thread.monospaced
- Disgusting.chalk
- did not know that... thx for the gempayton
- really monospaced? you get the same wax flakes from your won grown apples?
maybe im misinformed...Hombre_Lobo - No waxen flakes. But apples have a naturally waxy feel to their skin and they are nice and shiny...naturally.monospaced

We had a chicken growing up and it laid white eggs. We cleaned them and they were just like the ones in the store. Are they really bleached?

are you sure they do? because i don't think thats true....as far as i know, some breeds of chicken lay white eggs, some brown, some grey, some speckled. but there is a general preference for white...even know they all taste exactly the same. some evidence: http://www.ithaca.edu/staff/jhen…

Eggs aren't bleached...the color is dependent on diet.

Also for you to remember the difference in white and brown eggs is exactly 0. Other than their appearance.
And IIRC you can also tell what colour eggs hens will produce from the colour combination of their wattle and feathers.

ha, some research, and they bleach eggs to sterilize them, it does not get the color out.

They have every vitamin aside form vitamin C, they have some of highest quality protein albumin as well as amino acids proportional to one another optimal for muscle growth.

white eggs are produced by hens with white feathers, brown eggs are produced by hens with red feathers.
- So, set, chalk and payton are wrong? What a relief.monospaced
- was that directed at me? what did I say?set
- You're all wrong, it depends on the type of food they eat.ORAZAL
- Black and white eggs?
http://static.mypetc…ORAZAL - oh, nothingmonospaced
- well my friend who raises hens commercially disagrees with your feed hypothesisacescence
- what if they bleached the red feathered hens feathers? would the egg then be white?jmilligan

This is all well and good, but I pose to you a more important question.
Who came first? The chicken or the egg?
- The dinosaur.d_rek
- probably evolved together as a more specialized form of mitosisscarabin
- depends on who's cock you stroke first.iCanHasQBN
- dinossaur eggs.Pixter
- the egg or the chicken egg? eggs certainly came before chickens, but the first chicken came from a chicken eggacescence
- ha, thats too deep for me.payton
- wait, i got that wrong, the 1st chicken came from an egg that wasn't laid by a chicken, but the 1st chicken egg came from a chickenacescence
- chicken. ah fuck it.acescence
- An animal shitted out a mutated retard egg, out of which a chicken hatched. fucking simple.set
