    You’d have to be extremely selfish and a climate denier to think that the price of eggs going up is a bad thing

      I agree with the sentiment long term, but short term - it’s gonna be a disaster to put something like eggs beyond the reach of the poor/uneducated especially and it’d be much better to have people gradually eased into something like this.

      There are whole lot of idiots that think they must have animal protein or else they will die. Not even kidding; I’ve been a vegetarian (mostly vegan) for 20+ years and I get people agog that I’m even still alive, LOL. That’s from adults, mind you, not children. I suspect that’s because of the extreme amount of animal protein marketing and that nutritional education in this country is just plain terrible. I suppose it’s getting better, though, since about 5% of the population is veg*n.

      Eggs are the lowest impact animal protein that’s readily available. You’d have to be an actual idiot to think that increased egg costs will result in lower carbon and methane footprints for the average consumer.
