No need for embarrassment, even those of us who raise chickens don't  
know the physiology.

I hope the description of how eggs are made does not cause anyone to  
stop eating them. Eggs have taken many cheap and erroneous shots over  
the last several decades. The cholesterol rap is nonsense in my  
opinion. Sure, eggs have fat. They also contain lecithin, which breaks  
down fat into easily digestible bits. And, by the way, cholesterol is  
important for healthy bodies.

I have long considered eggs to be a perfect food. After all, with  
fertilization they are capable of creating a complete animal.
