Dangerous Food Quiz

This is a picture of my breakfast this morning.  Can you identify which item is the least nutritious?  The most dangerous?

My breakfast consisted of:

• A glass of raw whole milk
• Egg yolks cooked soft (still runny – okay, all except one, which broke), in coconut oil, sprinkled with salt and fresh ground pepper
• Low-carb whole grain, whole wheat toast, slathered in salted butter

If you guessed the toast, you get a gold star!  The other foods are both very nutritious and safe.

• Raw whole milk (from pasture fed Jersey cows) is both safe and very nutritious.
• Egg yolks from truly free range hens are also safe and nutritious.
• Coconut oil has many health benefits.
• Salt is a necessary nutrient.
• Butter is a nutritious and health-promoting food.

The low carb bread, however, contains:

• Whole wheat whole grain flour (probably not soaked, sprouted, or fermented)
• added fiber (soy fiber and/or cellulose fiber or wheat fiber)
• Brown sugar
• soybean flour
• plus a lot of multisyllabic ingredients I didn’t feel like looking up

So geez, why did I eat the toast??  Because I like buttered toast as part of my breakfast. Eating the butter by itself just isn’t the same, and it doesn’t sop up runny egg yolk very well, compared to toast.

Today was the first time I’ve ever tried cooking just egg yolks.  I’ve never liked egg whites, but I always ate them with the yolk because, well, they come together, and whites have protein, which is good for you.  However, this article about eggs mentions that the whites aren’t necessarily good for you, which explains why I’ve never liked them.  So I have freed myself from the tyranny of the egg white!  And those yolks this morning tasted wonderful.  I am not going back to eating whites with my yolks!  If I need extra protein, I’ll eat bacon.
