It was only 2 weeks ago when I cracked an egg on top of my flat iron cooking utensil, when lo-and-behold, there was no yolk. It was a totally white egg. For a moment I thought it would taste bad, but it tasted just like the white in an egg tastes. I was surprised. It was a small-egg the variety that comes the cheapest by the dozen. (Could it be the chicken was so cheap that it only laid half-an-egg? - joke)

How was this possible? Could it be reproduced on a regular basis, cause I know a lot of wanna-be-strong-people would want to have a tray full of full-protein eggs?

Do not be sceptical because it is true.

From a 4H website about poultry:
"Yolkless eggs are usually formed about a bit of tissue that is sloughed off the ovary or oviduct. This tissue stimulates the secreting glands of the oviduct and a yolkless egg results."

Be careful what you do with any yolkless eggs you find. Legend has it that a cockatrice may be born from a yolkless egg, laid during the days of Sirius (the Dog Star) by a seven-year-old rooster, and hatched by a toad!

I prefer the ones where you get two yolks in one egg.

Would this be the same thing doctors call a blighted ovum with human patients?

Tell them to stop trying to hack the system and eat complete eggs like everyone else. Most of the micronutrients contained in an egg are to be found in the yolk. Moreover, the protein profiles that have shown egg protein to be fantastic were done with a complete egg, not just an egg white.

If they really want to have egg whites only, here is the surefire way to do it

More evidence against evolution, if you ask me.
