In the beginning, eggs were good. Two every morning.
Then they got bad. Cholesterol.
But they came back. Dietary cholesterol does not determine what’s in your arteries.
Most recently, they went bad yet again. A study of early deaths among egg eaters.
Still, they return. Over at the Mayo Clinic. Mayo says it’s not the eggs, it’s you.
Eggs are good for some people, bad for others. Depends on what you bring to the table.
We’ve seen this before. In fact, repeatedly.
Religion. First, God was an external, objective actor. Then He became the possession of the priests. Then, of congregations. And, ultimately, is a matter of the experience of individual believers.
Art. First, art was a re-creation of an animal. Then, a representation of objective reality. Then, a stimulus of the viewer’s senses. Then, a stimulus of the viewer’s subjective experience.
Industry. First, a craft. Then, mass production, automation. Then, artificial intelligence. Ultimately, individual, 3-D printed products.
Law. First, decrees of the strong. Then, decrees of the ordained. Then, Natural Law. Then, legislation and interpretation. Ultimately smart contracts, implemented by blockchain.
Hummus. First, hand-crafted along the Nile. Then, a national food. Then, a global, plastic-packed, shelf product. Ultimately, any pulverized, creamy dip. Finally, retrieved by the roll-your-own ethic of the MidLaw Diet. You don’t buy it; you make it. Your way
Now it’s eggs. But it’s not the eggs. It’s not the cholesterol. It’s you.
If eggs are back, can bacon be far behind?
