Eggs have been a source of nutrition since humans walked the earth. In an egg fertilized, lies all the needs for sustenance up to the time that it is hatched into whatever creature it is meant to be. Until an egg hatches, it's dependent upon certain conditions other than its origins, to become a being of some sort. The bearer of an egg is female and the female's diet and other environmental needs are present to ensure that the newly born is in good health and will grow up to reproduce its kind in turn. Birds, reptiles, insects, fish, and all sorts of other living things have unique and individual needs after they are on their own but inside the egg, they are safe and find all they need before entering the outside world. Chicken eggs are something that humans love. Eggs, both white and brown and even some coloured ones that are an experiment, are added to recipes or eaten much as is, so that they never do reach becoming what their biological goal actually is. Brown and white eggs are both the same and contain all the same elements other than their colour, therefore, either choice is equal. Some bird eggs and those of other creatures are spotted or marked somehow, perhaps tinted so that they have camouflage to protect them, but basically most eggs, those of chickens are equally consumable. You can do so many things with hen eggs as a consuming human. Eggs end up on plates to be eaten just how they look coming out of the shell. Some are scrambled, others are beaten or whipped after separating and they have all kinds of other things added to their richness to make them taste differently or come out as part of something bigger than they are. What would we do without eggs? For one thing, we wouldn't be alive because we, too, begin as eggs. It's part of our development and heritage. Our human eggs have lots of similarities to other creatures' eggs and it is surprising how much we have in common with a wide variety of other animals. There are various ideas about the superiority of the eggs we humans come from or develop as, but being animals ourselves in a way we sometimes don't like to discuss, there must be some kind of brother or sisterhood involved between we eggs. We haven't really solved the meaning of all that as yet, but scientists who are the thinkers of our society, spend long hours on such matters. An egg is an egg is an egg however, and whether they are brown or white is immaterial. Some eaters prefer white eggs and others insist upon the brown ones, saying that one colour is better than the other. I do know that the yolks or what really matters in an egg is said to be better the more colour it has. Those sorts of people will eat only brown eggs and they are quite particular about where those egg-bearing hens ate and how their lives paid out. But sadly, it actually doesn't affect the egg much. Eggs come out and that's it. But it does take two creatures to make an egg so that it will mature and becoame an adult to produce another one of itself. It does take a male and a female to effect this event, however and without argument, while some creatures that lay eggs can make miraculous changes from one sex to another in order to meet that requirement and carry on what all creatures are meant to do, occasionally accidents occur. Nature doesn't get involved much in social opinions about eggs. Eggs go on and on and with hope, always will.
