after the egg

Edited to add: This was posted before I heard about the egg recall, but I stand by my new-found love, despite the dire warnings! -SSS

I've always liked eggs. Now that I've read this tidbit from iVillage.com, I'm ready to marry them:

Overweight adults who ate two eggs for breakfast lost 65% more weight (and felt more energetic) than those who started the morning with an equally caloric bagel, recent studies show. Other findings reveal that egg eaters consume 300 fewer calories per day, adding up to a loss of three pounds per month. “Eggs help level out blood sugar, provide energy-boosting protein and are full of nutrients,” says wellness coach Jessica Smith. “If you can’t stomach eggs in the morning, eat them for dinner instead.”

"Oh, God above,
if heaven has a taste it must be an egg
 with butter and salt, 

and after the egg
is there anything in the world lovelier
 than fresh warm bread 

and a mug of sweet golden tea?"
