Eggs-traordinary Lies You’ve Been Fed

The Delicious Myths That Keep Us Hooked on Animal Products

You’ve probably heard it all:
“Meat is the best source of protein.”
“Eggs are essential for a healthy breakfast.”
“Milk makes your bones strong.”

Let’s just say… those breakfast tables have been lying to us for decades—served sunny-side up with a side of industrial-scale marketing.

Welcome to Eggs-traordinary Lies You’ve Been Fed — a no-bull (literally) exposé on how we’ve been duped into believing that animal products are the cornerstone of a healthy, happy life.

🥩 Lie #1: “You Need Meat for Protein”

Ah yes, the age-old gym bro gospel. But here’s the twist: plants have plenty of protein — lentils, chickpeas, tofu, tempeh, quinoa, seitan, even broccoli.

Elite athletes around the world are thriving on plant-based diets.
So no, protein doesn’t have to moo, cluck, or oink.

🍳 Lie #2: “Eggs Are the Perfect Protein”

Let’s unscramble this one.
Eggs are loaded with cholesterol and saturated fat. While they’ve been rebranded as a “superfood,” studies link egg consumption to higher risks of heart disease and cancer.

And fun fact: an egg is a chicken's period. Still hungry?

🥛 Lie #3: “Milk Builds Strong Bones”

If this were true, countries with the highest dairy intake wouldn’t also have the highest osteoporosis rates — but they do.

Cow’s milk is for baby cows, not humans. It contains hormones, growth factors, and proteins our bodies don’t need.

Want calcium? Grab some kale, almonds, sesame seeds, or fortified oat milk — without the moo.

🐥 Lie #4: “Animals Are Treated Humanely”

Here’s the harsh truth:
There’s no humane way to kill someone who doesn’t want to die.

Even “free-range” or “organic” labels often hide the same cruelty. Baby chicks are ground up alive. Cows are forcibly impregnated and separated from their calves.

A nice label doesn’t mean a nice life.

🐟 Lie #5: “Fish Is a Healthy Option”

Fish might seem cleaner than red meat, but oceans are chemical soup now — mercury, PCBs, antibiotics, plastic.

And industrial fishing is wreaking havoc on marine life, killing dolphins, sea turtles, and coral reefs in the process. That grilled salmon? It comes with a side of ocean collapse.

🌱 Lie #6: “Plants Feel Pain Too”

Let’s nip this one in the bud.
No brain, no nervous system, no pain.

Plus, eating plants directly uses far fewer resources than filtering them through a cow or chicken first. So going vegan actually saves more plants, not fewer. Mind blown?

🌍 The Truth They Never Served You

These lies have been repeated so often — in ads, schools, doctor’s offices — that they’ve become “common sense.” But that doesn’t make them true.

Behind every bite of animal product is an industry that profits from keeping you in the dark.

It’s time to wake up.
Not just for your health, but for the animals, the planet, and that little thing called your conscience.
