Walking on Eggshells

In Great Britain,

The Broadcast Advertising Clearance Centre, which vets all TV ads, said: “Eating eggs every day for breakfast goes against generally-accepted advice.”

So the BACC decided to ban the 50-year-old ad slogan “Go to work on an egg,” because the famous exhortation might lead to unhealthy eating habits that have no place in "a varied diet."

I suppose "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" wouldn't pass muster either? Apples are healthy, but you shouldn't take it to mean all you need to eat is ONE apple for your day's meals, or that other fruit aren't also good.

Does this ban extend to bureaucratic egg-heads as well?

Like most people, I only work 5 days a week.

Is this a dream? I can't stop laughing. They can't be serious?

How many times do I need to repeat myself......a pretty reasonable method for maintaining a successful society begins with examining what Great Britain does and doing the opposite.......now was that so hard?!
