The Secretary-General for WPSAGHB, Madam Comfort Acheampong has urged Ghanaians to consume more eggs for health growth saying fish and meat have recently become very expensive in food preparations.
According to her, an egg contains a variety of nutritional values and is affordable to buy therefore the citizenry and households add eggs to their meal adding that countries like France and China prepare egg soup and other alternatives to egg meals.

She therefore called on the citizenry to explore the habit of using eggs for varieties of dishes and explained that they can be boiled, fried, scrambled, and go with all kinds of dishes therefore urging people to replace eggs with, meat, beef, and fish for their respective meals.
Madam Comfort Acheampong made the call at a food bazaar organized by Adom FM in Accra where she mounted a stand and displayed an array of egg dishes such as egg soup, boiled eggs, fried eggs, and scrambled eggs with pepper.
