...Creek. It’s a food jar item called Just Mayo which looks like mayonnaise and taste like it too. Officials at the American Egg Board talked about how the name Just Mayo was misleading the public because of no eggs with the name. The Egg Board sent emails to places all over, going to such lengths as to alerting the Food and Drug Administration to this fact. They also were contacting stores carrying the product such as Whole Foods to drop the item. Finally they talked about even putting a hit on the CEO of the company that made Just Mayo, Josh Tetrick. The emails all came to light because the American Egg Board is technically part of the government. It's funded by the egg industry, but it's run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They all were disclosed by the power of the Freedom of Information Act to get all these documents. The documents led to a wave of stories calling the campaign a government conspiracy to bring down Just Mayo when a lawyer gave the documents to the company, Hampton Creek, which released them to journalist. It was unprofessional by a government run company and food critic Michele Simon said, "The egg board is supposed to promote eggs. It's not supposed to take down competitor”. The FDA did send Hampton Creek a warning letter informing the company that its products violate FDA rules. According to the FDA, real mayonnaise has to contain eggs to be sold legally. The aftermath of this incident is interesting because of how careless a government run board could...

...EGGS "A ""A Hne"A hen is only an egg's way of making another egg." ~ Samuel Butler making another egg." "Besides for being a staple ingredient in cookie dough, we like eggs because there's lots of science involved with them." ~Blake Rider One of the most notable characteristic of an egg is how much an egg white can foam up. Why does this happen? Eggs are approximately 90 percent water and 10 percent protein. There is an electrical attraction between water molecules (for this reason you won't get any results from trying to whip up water alone) and when you beat them you are allowing the proteins to break apart the water molecules. When they get farther apart, the electric attraction decreases which allows the egg whites to spread out and bonds to form between the proteins. Over beaten eggs really means that too many bonds formed between the proteins and you can actually help to prevent this by adding vinegar. Vinegar is an acid so its particles are positively charged. These charged particles join charged protein, neutralizing them and making them less likely to form bonds with other proteins. Cold eggs whites will be more difficult to beat into a foam, because the air bubbles will be smaller and more difficult to seperate than egg whites at room temperature. Boiling eggs: Have you ever hard boiled an egg and it ended up with a flat edge on one side? Eggs have a small pocket of air trapped in-between the flatter end of the egg and the shell...

...to 250 eggs in a single year. California holds approximately 1.9 million egg laying hens that produce over 5 billion eggs and make close to $400 million dollars in revenue (CAPS). California is currently the 5th largest producer of eggs in the United States (CDFA). Eggs are currently ranked as California's 20th largest grossing commodity (CAPS). The United States produces 75 billion eggs per year, around 10% of the worlds supply. Of the 75 billion eggs, 60% are used by consumers, 9% go to the food industry and the remaining 31% are turned into egg products (CDFA). Table 1: Egg Production and Value, 2000-2011 Year | Number of Eggs (millions) | Total Value ($1,000) | 2000 | 6,319 | 238,796 | 2001 | 6,082 | 238,951 | 2002 | 6,257 | 204,175 | 2003 | 5,454 | 283,219 | 2004 | 5,454 | 292,688 | 2005 | 5,271 | 187,965 | 2006 | 5,231 | 223,903 | 2007 | 5,290 | 346,426 | 2008 | 5,271 | 440,438 | 2009 | 5,304 | 319,805 | 2010 | 5,285 | 367,788 | 2011 | 5,287 | 391,578 | *According to the CAPC page 103 Table 1 shows the number of eggs being laid per year is decreasing, while the price per dozen is increasing.

...The problem addressed is how to drop an egg from approximately 18’ and enable the egg to survive the impact unscathed. There are many simple solutions available for purchase on the open market, but one of the constraints placed on this project is materials should be recycled or repurposed and not obtained from a retail store. The mission at hand is to obtain recycled materials, design a solution to the problem out of those materials, test the design and modify as necessary to improve the outcome to ensure the eggs safe landing, document the finding and lessoned learned. The materials available were obtained from a neighbors Radio Controlled (RC) Hoby Shop. Usually, there are more exotic materials available, such as old RC tires, or plastic bodies, servos, and motors. This week all that was available was empty aluminum soda containers, glass bottles, cardboard, and steel wool. I examined several manufacturing ideas which involved cutting the aluminum soda containers into strips of aluminum to be reassembled into a new shape. Ultimately this was too time-consuming and there is a safety factor due to the nature of the sharp edges of the aluminum. I decided to keep the package simple and use two different sized aluminum soda containers....

...Percent difference in mass of each egg after soaking in the sucrose solutions Experimental Question: If we change the amount of sucrose in each solution that the eggs will sit in, how will this affect the difference in the mass of the eggs? Hypothesis: If an egg is placed in a 4 M sucrose solution overnight, then that egg would lose a greater percentage of its mass than the eggs placed in any other solutions tested, because the solution it is in has a higher concentration of solute (sucrose) which makes the solution hypertonic so the water will diffuse out of the egg. Control: Distilled Water (0.0 M solution) Constants: How long the eggs are...

...Hatched a Chiken Egg in an Incubator Can you remember the last time you were passionate to learn something new? Neither can I. But we have all been passionate to learn at some point in our childhood. To kids the world seems like a magical place, full of mysteries waiting to be discovered. I’m sure all of us can recall some pleasant memories experiencing with science as a child. In this essay I’m going to talk to you about an experiment I did in my childhood with an incubator. It was a joyful experience for me. The first important thing I needed to do in order to hatch chicken eggs was to find an incubator. That was the easy part since I could borrow one from my school. It wasn’t actually an incubator. it was a device that students in 5th grade had to make, and it worked like an incubator with a few differences. The device could only be used to maintain the temperature needed for the experiment. The rest I had to do by hand. It was plugged into electricity 24 hours a day, and it had a lamp inside it to make the area warm and light. Finding the incubator was pretty easy. Using it was a little harder. I had to find the right eggs, if I wanted to hatch them and turn them into chickens eventually. First I had to make sure they weren’t stored for more than 7 days. Old eggs weren’t going to turn into chickens. And I also had to make sure that they were stored in a cool humid area, and were not damaged, and didn’t have any holes or cracks. Size of the eggs was important...

...Andrew Tran NUFS 163 Critical Analysis #1 In the article “Egg yolk consumption and carotid plaque,” a study is done to determine the effects of consumption of egg yolks on plaque buildup in the arteries and whether it is significantly harmful or not. The study claims high consumptions of egg yolk should be avoided by persons at risk of cardiovascular disease. In the study, there were 2831 patients who responded with data on their egg yolk consumption. The data was taken from a vascular prevention clinic where it included any patient who visited the clinic, and excluded patients who did not give consent or did not give information on necessary data. This resulted in a study of 1231 patients, with 47% of the patients being women. For the study, plaque was identified on both sides of the carotid artery and measured longitudinally in the plane it was largest. The plaque in the common, external, and internal carotid artery was traced with a cursor to measure the perimeter of each plaque, with the sum of the three plaque areas being the TPA. To determine a score of egg-yolk years, the number of eggs per week was multiplied by the number of years. Since the study included smokers, the design was split into groups of zero pack-years, between zero and ten pack-years, and so on. The carotid plaque area was then observed with respect to egg-yolk years to determine the effects of egg yolk on carotid plaque area. The result of the study showed carotid atherosclerotic plaque area increased...

...ADELYN D. CABUEÑAS ASCT/AS101A PROFETH1 “TAKING CARE OF AN EGG” “Effort is the best way of showing how much you love, care, and value someone even without commitment”. For the past few weeks taking care of this “special thing” has been one of my priorities. Maybe it’s not the best among the rest, but I know that I give my 100% effort in taking care of my EGG. During the day when our Prof. told us that we have to bring an egg for the next meeting, the first thing that popped in my mind is that we are going to cook some egg recipe. I know it sounds funny to think that cooking is not even our subject curriculum. The following day she ask us if we bought the eggs that she told us to, and when we told her yes she then signed each egg. After that, Mrs. Danila announced that we’re going to take care of the egg for the whole midterm thus 50% of our grade depends on how good we handle those egg. Going home with the egg in my bag makes me feel so anxious, I was like a paranoid girl in love whose afraid, to break and lost her most precious guy. Well I guess the reason why I’m afraid to break my egg is that I don’t want to fail, coz’ failing for me is like losing a big chance. That day, when I got home the first thing I did was look for something cute where I can place my egg that I can consider safe and comfy. I ended up buying a cute dark blue box at the National Bookstore, but I find its color a bit boring so I decided to buy a violet colored paper to...

...Conformity and Control, The Story of Green Eggs and Jam By: TheSarcasmLord After watching Green Eggs and Jam, many people laugh at the silly video and take it for nothing more than meaningless entertainment, but in fact it has some deep meaning. Green Eggs and Jam by Jason Gastrow is a parody and perspective shift of the classic book Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss, and can be viewed here on youtube. In Green Eggs and Jam, Gastrow takes the original concept of Green Eggs and Ham and follows the idea that in actuality Sam is fairly pushy for trying to force his opinion onto others. This aspect is not touched on in the original book, and it brings up the important point that if someone’s opinion is contrary to another person’s it should be...

...Edgar Benitez Professor Stephanson September 29, 2014 Why Is The Big Green Egg The Go-To Grill You Ask? So you want to purchase a new grill? You go to some local store with half a dozen models to choose from and you get confused. What size should you get? Who makes a reliable and easy to use grill? Do you want charcoal or gas? There are hundreds of questions you can ask, so I am going to try and help you out. In the third century C.E, the Japanese adopted domed cooking vessels from the Chinese Qin Dynasty called “kamados”, which has been translated to mean oven, stone, heater or fireplace. Initially, pots were hung over the fire inside the kamado, and eventually a form of cooking grid was fitted inside for grilling and roasting meats. Now fast forward a bit, during World War II, U.S. servicemen discovered kamados in Japan. They loved cooking in them and shipped them back after the war. The kamados were an unusual but exciting alternative to the barbecue grills of the day, but were soon sold to them due to their great results. When looking to buy a new grill, home cooks should consider the Big Green Egg because this grill seems impervious to weather, its accessory collection surpasses any other, and, most importantly, the flavor you get out of this grill is phenomenal. Home cooks need a grill that is reliable and comfortable. The Big Green Egg is known for its high quality customer service and support. Their home office, based out of Atlanta, GA, has been there since...

...a single hen as a sign of his gratitude for my contribution to his farm. Since then, chicken became my pet and rearing poultry became my hobby. This goal was further motivated by my agriculture lessons in class were I learnt best practices for rearing poultry. As at now, I have over 5000 chicken, more than half are layers and the rest are broilers. Besides chicken, I rear ducks, geese and turkeys, all of which are profitable. Chicken farming has become my livelihood and I do not intend to look for formal jobs. Benefits of keeping poultry on your homestead 1. Egg production If you are a non-vegetarian as I am, then you definitely consume eggs unless they give you some abdominal discomfort. Keeping poultry on your homestead, specifically layers gives you a chance to enjoy eggs without limits. Eggs have numerous healthy benefits in your body because they contain vital mineral elements. I keep White Leghorns for egg production and their yield has never discouraged. 2. Meat production Poultry meat is irresistible. Poultry meat is my favorite and you know what, keeping poultry on the homestead ensures that you enjoy fresh meat, which is free from chemicals additives found in their feeds and antibiotics. Meat poultry matures fast provided you give them the required feeds. To be specific, it takes a broiler two months to be mature...
