    The issue is that for a lot of poor people, eggs were a great and easy way to get proteins.

    Vegan diet is absolutely viable for the vast majority of people. However, the access to quality vegan food to all the population isn’t there yet.

    Food desert are real and at least eggs were easier to get there than dried beans and rice. And that options is getting out of reach for a lot of people.

      Sorry if I’m misunderstanding the problem, but aren’t foods like beans and rice which can be ordered in bulk online a good solution for people stuck in food deserts? I would think that anything with a long shelf life would be superior to perishables. (American eggs have to be refrigerated, right?)
