Geez this country is really obsessed with eggs. Almost like it’s some kind of hard addiction.
At this point, I’m astonished no one has come up with some kind of synthetic egg that looks, acts, and tastes just like the real thing.
It appears a hen needs about 115g of feed a day to produce one 50g egg, so the product yield is less than half the input, plus all the other overhead like conditioned living space, water, antibiotics, lobbying for ag-gag laws against animal rights activists… I bet someone could come up with a more efficient way to make an egg. They could even call it something like “Aeg™” which could have some cute marketing meaning.
Egg beaters liquid egg substitute has been around for ages and there’s even a plant based one now. Nothing in the way of something not scrambled though.
