Dude, Where's My Egg?

Common sense tells you that when buying eggs always open the box to see if any of the eggs are cracked or broken. Many times this is the case. Obviously you don't buy those eggs because you risk the chance of a food borne illness. Those aren't cool. But have you ever opened the box to find that an egg is missing?

I want to know - who takes just one egg? Why not two or three? Plus, I would think that who ever took this egg, can't get a full stomach off just one egg, unless they needed it for a recipe. Still don't think that one egg will do. Plus, these eggs where the "high-class" Egg Lands best eggs. So these eggs probably get more on the black market than regular eggs because they are more nutritious. In my opinion they taste better.

My other theory is this - Did the grocery store think that most people don't check to see if all the eggs are there? In that case, that's unethical. You are being cheated. They took your egg and charged you for it!!! Man, that's messed up. 11 eggs does not equal a dozen. At least not where I am from. Plus, if you didn't know that egg was missing, and I bet someone purchased that box of eggs, there is nothing more annoying than coming home from the grocery store, unloading your food, and realizing that something is broken, damaged, or missing. Are you really going to go back to the store just for one item?

My other, other theory is this - The egg land best packagers, cheated the grocery store. They new one egg was missing, and figured, the stockers do not check eggs. They just check to see if the shelf is full. So, by the company cheating the grocery store, you in turn, think the grocery store cheated you, and now you are not happy because when it comes down to eating your omelet, and you normally use two or three, now you are stuck with just one egg for the omelet. And that just isn't cool either.

Nutrition Note: Adding vegetables to your eggs is an EASY way to get more nutrients and vegetables into your belly. If you think that chopping up vegetables takes to long and you are rushed to get out the door, then try chopping a bunch of veggies on a Sunday night. I'm talking like a cup full at least. Put them in a Tupperware container, and grab a handful in the morning to cut down prep time. Use olive oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil (or an oil of your choice high in mono and poly fats), to saute the veggies. Onions, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, and spinach are all easy veggies to put in. I've even used broccoli at times. Put your eggs in, and in a few minutes your belly will be filled with veggies, protein, omega's, heart healthy fats, and antioxidant vitamins like E. If you want some extra calcium and D, then add some cheese to your eggs as well.
