So I've seen a few foreign people come to the states and they are always alarmed and shocked to see white chicken eggs. They were only aware of brown eggs. What other countries have white chicken eggs? Also if this is the first time you're seeing a white chicken egg yes this image is real and yes we eat them.

Either you're right or its just a retarded european. The colour of eggs is not dependent on bleach, but on the breed of chicken.
In fact I doubt you could even change the colour of eggs with bleach without ruining the egg due to the semipermable nature of the shell and membranes,

The amount of pigment, Protoporphyrin, applied as the egg travels the reproductive tract of the hen determines the colour. The amount of pigment applied is up to the genetics of the chicken.

Yes, because we don't introduce bacteria into the inside of the egg by washing them. Shell and membrane are semipermeable, bacteria can't get though until it gets wet, that is why hens like to lay in warm dry areas, it is nature's defense against bacteria.

There are chickens that lay colored eggs. They aren't used for easter eggs usually, or rather easter eggs usually don't use them as the breed is quite rare, but my mother had chickens that lay green and blue eggs. If you touched one just after it has been laid the color would rub off a bit, but if it had dried already it wouldn't. Brown eggs behave the same way.

the color of eggs comes from the amount of beta carotene in the diet of the chicken so eggs can range in color from white to blood red. they all taste the same.

oh your talking about the shells? also nobody bleaches those either. the color of an egg is put down by the chickens egg forming chamber in the last 2 hours before an egg is laid. it can easily be rubbed off. the color of the shell HAS NO BEARING on the quality of the egg.

I like white eggs but they're pretty uncommon here in Italy.
I've read that in the US brown eggs wouldn't sell as much because there's the idea that brown eggs are somewhat "dirty".
Here, on the other hand, white eggs would be considered "artificial" by most customers, like they've been bleached or something, while the brown ones look more natural.

But there's a specific breed, the "livornese" chicken, that produce white eggs with a huge deep orange yolk. It's the one many of us will use to make homemade pasta and it's delicious.

In general, yes.

Also, farmers tend to choose breeds of chickens to raise by which will do best in their area. In warmer places like the southern US, the chickens that lay the white eggs do very well. In places further north that get colder, breeds that produce brown eggs will generally do better and are the better choice.

What is funny is the twits in areas where brown eggs are common thinking that white eggs are preferred and will pay a premium for them. On the other hand, you go to the south and twits think that brown eggs are better and will pay a premium for them.

Nope. Complete falsehood, whoever said that. We just happen to use chicken that produce white eggs.

Because of the organic trend and other things, people in the U.S. are likewise apt to think white eggs are "artificial" and that "real eggs" have color to them.
They make a point of using chickens that produce brown eggs for """organic""" eggs because they know this is good way to make people think it's natural. We associate brown with earth, nature, recycling, etc..
And they admittedly do sort of give an impression as if this is what a chicken should naturally lay, but it's just not really the case; different breeds lay all sorts of eggs but the mug organic fucks won't listen to that.

Sounds like a mutated rumor to me.

In fact, if you wanna know the real reason why the CDC still recommends against eating raw eggs it's because powerful companies are so fucking paranoid about
people suing them and so obsessed with sucking up every pathetically tiny drop of even just perceived power they can, that they decided to get into the pockets of the CDC so that even when there is literally no risk unless someone totally fucks up, they wanted an excuse to do a last-ditch "oh no it's fine this is perfectly fine and legal and please don't try to start a lawsuit" by making these authorities forever paranoid and massively dumbing the public down. But that defense is only a psychological illusion; if someone actually goes for them, they'd likely do a settlement. Legal proceedings like this generally offer no profit on the part of the person who is sued...

The eggs all taste the same its just down to local preference. In the UK white eggs used to be popular now brown eggs are usually the only ones sold. People see brown eggs as more rustic and natural here, kind of like how people see brown bread as better than white bread. If you go to Asia you see white eggs everywhere.

They taste exactly the same it just depends on what breed is the layer what colour the shell is.

The risk of salmonella is extremely low in both cases. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages.
The washing method puts most of the burden on the producer, makes it take more effort to keep eggs in good condition, and practically eliminates the risk of the eggs cross contaminating something else.
The unwashed method puts most of the burden on the consumer, who needs to be mindful of cross contamination, needs to wash the eggs before use, but doesn't need to worry as much about keeping the eggs themselves in good condition.
Both methods will not protect against an egg being infected with salmonella on the inside of the egg (happens during the formation of the egg inside the chicken).

From a health and safety perspective it's easier and more effective to force rules on the industrial producers than to try to educate consumers and tell them what to do. And more importantly it puts the liability on the larger entities that can actually pay fines.
