Sorry for the meaningless rant (but isn't that what this section is for ). Please help me with an issue that just seems to bring my friend and I to fisticuffs.
It's about the eggs at Dunkin Donuts. She can't stand when I order them because she says they are fake. I understood that there is something odd going on with them (because they're so perfect) but I still don't consider them to be fake.
According to DnD's site (on the nutrition page):
https://www.dunkindonuts.com/aboutus...ches&id=DD-771
Eggs:Now, I understand that a lot of that stuff is meant to preserve the egg and some of it is "filler", but I still stand behind my conviction that it's a REAL egg.
My friend says that it's no longer a real egg because it has been altered. My response to that was "If you take and egg and add salt and pepper to it, before you cook it, then you are altering the egg, so it must be fake?" and she said this would make it fake.
I'm sure most will agree with my friend and say it's fake, but considering they use real eggs, it's still a freaking egg. Sure, they probably separate the white and the yolk, add preservatives, and then put it back together, but it's still an egg, which makes it real.
If it were completely made of 'artificial' ingredients, then I'd disagree. I realize that it's not 100% real, but in order for it to be fake, it wouldn't contain eggs and they DO! This is where I can't find myself calling them fake.
Any ideas???
