Eggs are unborn baby chickens.  There, I said it.  And if you really think about it, I mean REALLY think about it, who wants to eat a chicken’s embryo?  Doesn’t sound too appetizing now, does it?  If that thought doesn’t make you want to give up your morning omelet, here are 10 more reasons why you should think twice before cracking open your next egg.
