Seems like a perfectly reasonable article to me. Egg replacements are especially easy to use in baking where you're looking for a binding ingredient more than anything else.

I mean eggs are just chains of protein and some fat. We've had egg substitutes for baking for years. If there's any animal product which should be able to be widely replaced with a synthetic substitute, its eggs.

Maybe not for eating on their own but there are plenty of alternative emulsifiers for baking that can be used instead of eggs, one of the most popular is apple sauce

I specifically eat eggs because I enjoy consuming the unborn... scrambled fetus are great

Egg substitute doesn't actually substitute for eggs outside of baking.
And even then it doesn't really work the same. I don't want a plant egg substitute omelette.

The down votes are an indication of how many people don't get the pun.

Plant based eggs are called fruit.

I bought 6 chicks for $4.99 ea at the beginning of the pandemic. 3 years later we're averaging 3 to 5 eggs a day when they're not molting. Kids love the experience. The eggs are delicious. A 50 lb. bag of feed lasts a month and only costs $15. It lasts even longer during the warm months. So my cost is less than 50 cents a day. Great investment, they're all Plymouth Barred Rock hens from Tractor Supply

An egg replacement is not an egg. If you're about to downvote me, so why do you disagree?

No, it is a replacement. Hence the idea of it not being an egg.
RetroSurfer11 OP t1_j62v9g6 wrote
The article called them egg products, not me:
> plant based egg products. Those are usually soy or bean based liquids that resemble scrambled eggs when you cook them up.
It's oniony. Possibly even illegal because it's misleading, or false advertising, not sure...

People think there are plant based eggs?

If you need a binding ingredient nothing beats oats.

It really depends on what you’re doing. Tofu scramble can be made to taste and have the mouth feel very close to scrambled eggs. Justegg is a product that is perfectly fine for crepes. A big ass omelette though? Yeah, I don’t think I want a justegg omelette.

No, high egg prices and recent changes in laws regarding chickens in urban areas will lead to a boom of at home producers.

I dream of doing this but like along my whole street to get a good-sized chicken coop that we all have a neighborhood watch to keep coyotes out. Then you always have an excuse to drink with the boys
