World Egg Day was started by two women who were passionate about eggs and wanted to create a day to celebrate them. Since then, many people have joined in celebrating this wonderful egg-shaped object.
Eggs are very important for humans. People eat them because of the nutritional value they provide. There are many ways to cook eggs, but there’s also an activity called egg eating contest. This activity involves two competitors who try to eat as many eggs as possible within a certain time frame.
On this day, we celebrate the fact that eggs come in different shapes and sizes, and that they are used in many ways around the world. We also celebrate the fact that eggs are often seen as symbols of fertility, new life, and rebirth. In addition, we celebrate the fact they are delicious!
The theme for World Egg Day is “EAT YOUR EGG TODAY AND EVERY DAY”.

What is the origin of the egg?
There is a popular debate about which comes first: chicken or egg? Although we don’t have a definitive answer to that, we know for sure that humans have eaten eggs for a long time already. Eggs are easy to get. We only need to take care of chickens and the hens will surely lay eggs most of the time. Since the ancient times, humans were able to nurture chickens to obtain eggs.
