    Eggs are a staple food and an ingredient in an absolute fuck ton of things. They’re also very nutrient-dense and a major source of protein for vegetarians and people who can’t eat meat. Sure, you can just not buy eggs but that’s not realistic for everyone and it doesn’t stop the price of everything that includes eggs as an ingredient from going up.

        Its absolutely not an “American thing” Just about every asian country eats more eggs than Americans per capita. It’s in like half or more of their staple dishes.

        And Mexicans somehow eat even more eggs than Asians. (Surprising Google discovery)

      Not my point. Didn’t say eggs were bad. I implied that living without eggs for a while is not going to kill anyone, if anything, may help them reduce cholesterol and try other more sustainable sources of protein like soy.
