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.
I was thinking about this myself. I think it’s a breakfast staple even more than in other countries, and in larger quantities. And for many people it might be the most affordable source of animal protein? Until recently, that is.
Eggs aren’t important because they’re eaten directly, as much as they are as an ingredient.
They are used in all kinds of doughs (think breads, crusts, pastries, buns, etc…). They’re also half of mayonnaise, which again, is used in a lot of things
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.

Shit, I’ve been making mayo wrong. I’m not a very good cook.
Vegan baking has come very far. If anyone is interested don’t try to veganize your favorite recipe, it’s easier to find new vegan recipes.
Also stay away from recipes that use healthier ingredients if you want tasty results, your recipe before wasn’t healthy either 😜

Elon Musk: “XEGG”
(the ‘X’ makes it Extra Cool)
Yup, XAig. As a bonus, it’d implant the necessary biostructures for a Neuralink system installation.
