The 60 pack of white eggs at Wal-Mart is around $11. Are they real eggs? They killed off a lot of chickens. And why are store eggs all white instead of the color variety of farm raised.
I know stores sell things like impossible meat and morning star veggie meat. But are they labeling all fake meat? I have texture issues so i used to like the idea of the fake meat. Now it just sounds like something to avoid.
edit: Holy shit, I just saw a video showing how in China they DO make fake eggs, the yolk, and the white, synthetic materials. You can't tell until you cut open the yolk. So they appear real visually and to the touch, but not if dissected. Also, my info about the white chickens is incorrect.
Fake meat is supposedly being grown the same way cancerous tumors replicate their cells. No thanks. As for fake eggs, it would be a tad difficult to fake the contents within an eggshell. They are white because the breed of poor pitiful exploited chickens they use, produce white eggs. They bred chickens to have those monstrous heavy breast meats people want to buy. And they are the white chickens.
You’re right about the pitiful treatment of factory-raised chickens, however there are multiple breeds of white chickens, and the white Leghorns that lay the white eggs are super light, scrawny birds that put all their energy/feed into eggs, and almost nothing into meat. The white Cornish Rock Cross birds that are raised for meat grow so fast that they don’t make good egg layers and have a very low laying rate anyway. As a rule, livestock breeds either do well for meat or eggs/milk, but not both. Cows are another example. Dairy cattle and beef cattle have totally different body types. Neither are wrong/bad, they’ve just been selectively bred for different purposes in the same way people have bred for different types of dogs or anything else. Incidentally, the Cornish Rock meat chickens are not GMO, just intentionally bred for certain characteristics, and they can be raised very easily on small amounts of pasture for very healthy homegrown chicken. The breed is not the problem; the method for raising them makes all the difference.
