The ISRC, Iowa Egg Council, North Central Poultry Association, Iowa Food and Family Project and the Iowa Soybean Association hosted an omelet breakfast for Iowa State students on May 2 in recognition of National Egg Month. The free event was held at the Great Hall of the Memorial Union and aimed to educate students about soy and poultry while providing study-weary students with some food and fun. Of course, the soybean connection to eggs is the fact that soymeal is used in poultry feed. More than 350 students enjoyed a tasty omelet, answered some trivia questions and collected free soy-related giveaway items.
