What do we really want to know about the food the we eat on our table? Aside from the fact that we want it to be tasty and filling, do we really care where it came and the value and impact of it on our culture?

But knowing your food and experiencing what you want to eat and all the while enjoying it all are different aspects.

Just as my childhood memory serves me, I was forced feed to eat vegetables. But now, I like it without force feeding me. Which happens once in a blue moon.

Knowing this, would venture out and taste this mythical aspect of the chicken egg and experience it for yourself if its true?
