Re: [UUPoly-L] Eggs!?!?!?

[sablehairangel@comcast.net]

My example was pertaining to one petition list that was set up towards Boca. If you're arguing over the fact if eggs are worth fighting the reduction for, I am vegan and therefore keeping Boca, a leading producer of vegan burgers, vegan is important to me. I was simply stating that something similar could be done towards Amazon.com 

Thank you Brigitte for your input as well.

People who are trying to avoid animal products, reduce cholesterol*, 
and feel that most chickens are treated horrendously would feel it's a 
VERY important thing. We all have different priorities, and I feel 
it's important to avoid making comments that minimalize the worth of 
someone else's opinions. 

* Mind you, it's been shown that eating eggs regularly actually helps 
reduce cholesterol. Eggs don't have a lot of dietary cholesterol, 
they're a complete protein (meaning they don't need other foods to 
create a protein source), and it's been proven that dietary 
cholesterol has very little impact on overall LDL levels. Also, they 
have enzymes that break down more cholesterol than they have in them.
