Brain Teaser 3/30/2014

I may come in groups of twelve,

From farms or from a store,

The thing that made me,

Made many of me galore!

I could give birth to a creature,

Or be eaten by you,

For breakfast, lunch, or dinner,

Now here's your last clue.

I have walls and floors of white

A disco ball in the middle,

A very round one that's yellow,

And I am very little.

What am I?
