Why do eggs have yolks?

question from "Over EZ"

Do you believe in God, Over EZ? Well, that's beside the point. Have you ever heard the expression, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" That's what THAT is all about! The yolk is essentially a little chicken and the white is the "egg"-- which feeds the little chicken until it can feed itself!

The important thing here is to think about how lucky we are to have the distinction between the two. There are many recipes that call for just egg yolk or egg white-- including some drink recipes! Even if you're a vegan, you can still be happy for this miracle of nature-- for the little egg will grow into a big chicken-- and they make fine pets and companions!

I've heard about the development of a uniform yellow egg-- kind of like it gets after you beat the yolk and white together. This sounds tragic to me! Like the seedless grape or watermelon. And the eggs are being designed to be square, no less, to minimize shelf space. This would make it easy for fast food establishments to make cheap egg dishes, but only scrambled or omelet-- never over easy or sunnyside up! And these things would never, EVER grow into chickens! Please write your congressperson, your clergy-person, and other community leaders and ask them to oppose this heinous development!
