Eggs.
Okay, if I ask you, "Do you like eggs," what do you think about? Chicken eggs, of course. But why? When did chicken eggs become the "norm" for "eggs" in the culinary world? What if I asked you, "Do you like eggs," and you said yes, then I proceeded to serve you a big bowl of roe, or fish eggs; or better yet, I bring to you a heaping portion of turtle eggs?
Eggs.
There are so many types of eggs. On the surface, the thought of consuming any eggs is actually kind of gross, though I do enjoy the chicken variety of them (with ketchup and hot sauce and pepper), of course.
Nonetheless, for the most part, when people ask, "Would you like some eggs," most of us think of the white and yellow variety that comes in the carton in the dairy aisle of the store. Next time you eat or order or get asked about eggs, please be sure to clarify. If someone asks you, "Would you like some eggs," please respond, "of what species?"
In some small measure, I think this will make the chickens of the world feel a littlle less targeted and paranoid.
Best,

Re: Eggs.
EJ, you should make the above proposal to the Chik-Fil-A people for their next ad campaign - the cows are becoming stale. You might want to copyright the idea first so you could profit from it.

Re: Eggs.
One of my cousins found a spot where ducks were laying eggs. He insisted on eating those eggs and did so for several months. His mom said they had a very strong taste, what ever that means.

I could a long while without seeing Jared for Subway. I'm boycotting Subway until they get rid of that guy.

One of my favorte alt-country singers composed a song about eggs.
Eggs Are Good by Robbie Fulks
There's a small, round food I have oft enjoyed
With a shell of white and a shape ovoid
It's eggs
Wonderful eggs
Oh the farmer rises every morn at nine
For his hens bear a gift for all mankind
It's eggs
Farm-fresh eggs
There are golden eggs from a golden goose
There are eggs that are green in the books of Seuss
Green eggs
Fairytale eggs
I have eaten spinach, I have eaten kelp
But the warm golfballs that the white hens whelp
Put a spring in my step, bring delight to me
When I eat half a dozen, I'm in eggstacy
Yes, scrambled, deviled, poached, boiled, or fried
Eggs are good, so long as they've died
That's eggs
Recently killed eggs
When your egg is alive, you must send it back
To go live with its mom in the chicken shack
Full of eggs
Living eggs
But the dead embryos that the mom begets
Are tomorrow's quiches and omelettes
That's eggs
Versatile eggs
I have roamed to Ghana, I have Ghana to Rome
Did Juneau that all they eat in Nome
Is eggs
Penguin eggs
And Jamaican girls with their brown-skinned legs
Smoke marijuana and they swear by eggs
Funky eggs
Reefer and eggs
Oh, the egg has something for all humans
Certain folk like the yolk, some like albumen
Even men on the moon use the shell for ships
That they fly through the night during each eggclipse
Yes an egg a day keeps the doctor near
And the bartender, too, as he drops in your beer
An egg
A great big fucking egg
Oh eggs are good, good good good are eggs
Eat them fresh as they fall from a chicken's legs
Eat eggs
Handfuls of eggs
Grade-A, extra-large
Fuel-injected, super-charged
Eggs.
