Eggs have come to be rightly
called "Sunshine in Sealed Packages"
because of the fact that they are so
rich in Vitamin D, that essential protective
food element which is stored
up in certain food products and which
is imparted to them only directly or
indirectly from the sun's rays.
In addition to containing a superabundance
of these health-giving and
growth-promoting vitamins, imparted
to it by the ultra violet light of
the ?un, egjjs are rich ami well balanced
in all food nutrients. They
are easily digested, . economical to
purchase and constitute one of our
most useful, widely used and necessary
human foods,
Eggo cooked below the boiling
point of water arc more easily and
quickly digested than are boiled eggs.
Compared with other foods, eggs are
easily and quickly digested.
Eggs aVe a tissue building food, being
rich in protein and mineral matter.
They are among the first foods
to lx> fed to little children, because
they are so rich in iron and because
the proteins, fats and mineral substances
are especially well suited to
building body tissues.
Eggs are also especially valuable
in the diet of adults who are suffering
from tuberculosis, or other
wasting diseases, or who are convalescing
from infectious diseases.
Eggs are a protective food, rich
in the necessary vitamins.
Eggs are a balanced diet, rich in
protein, fats and minerals.
Eggs are easily digested; hence, a
most wholesome human food.
Eggs are an economical food and
should be more widely used in the
daily diet.
