    - NFTs of specific eggs
    - egg crypto currency
    - mandatory AI driven (needs an account) app to use the egg
    - lower the production to control the price
    - lobby the gov to mandate that everyone needs to consume an egg a day & be able to prove it (or jail time)
    - use personal data to determine the optimal price per eg for each customer
    - egg loot boxes

        Poor old USA never got Kinder surprise, the FDA stopped them from ever being sold there since a plastic shell in chocolate are “non-nutritive items implanted in food” that makes them “not suitable for sale”

          I wonder why they don’t ban the king cakes in Louisiana. They all have a plastic baby in them and those things really can fuck up your teeth. They are also horrible but that’s a side issue.

              King cake is legitimately the worst cake I’ve ever eaten. They’re dry and flavorless and covered with multicolored sugar that always has an odd taste to it. Maybe a fresh one is OK but generally they’re made in the months leading up to Mardi Gras and they always sit around for a while. And then you lose a fucking tooth – and for bonus points, if you get the baby you have to buy the fucking cake next year.

    My local Shop-Rite recently recently had a sale of a dozen “large” eggs for 99 cents. I bought a dozen and they were like the size of fucking quail eggs. Can’t complain for $1, I guess. These days, I have to buy Jumbo eggs in order to get something that is like the size of a normal egg.

    Technically not free. They get free food, housing, and medical care. For some thats probably better than what they got now.

      and then getting slaughtered at the end of the growing season, or if BIRD FLU hits, they all get wiped out at once.

      You mean suffer horribly in tiny cages and forced to pump out eggs at an unnatural rate and then slaughtered when they are deemed “spent”.

      And cage-free is a minority of the world egg production. And even cage-free has issues with quality of life.

      Not to mention the billions of male chicks that are ground alive the day they hatch because they are useless.

          garden raised, or regenerative but these are more expensive eggs.

        also some companies are very “tricky” in thier marketing, cage free doesnt mean range or pasture raised. it means they are still in large overcrowded barns, with potentially disease or dead chickens, its also call range free." tyson farms or foster farms is what your thinking cages stack upon cages of sickly chickens.

        you are looking for pasture, or garden raised(the latter more bougie cost") or regenerative farming.

    fun fact: chickens usually give 1 egg a month, but due to severe selective breeding, they give 1-2 a DAY. Ugh.

      I find it kinda hard to understand how they are able to process nutrients into an egg so fast. and am inclined to believe that the nutrient composition would be very different, with the quick-layers being much less desirable.

      That sounds like BS. Chickens evolved to take advantage of bamboo fruiting season which happened once in 7 years, so as soon as that time came, chicken population would increase rapidly. So people figured out if we feed the chickens a lot, they lay a lot of eggs. That was the whole reason to breed them.

      If you could engineer any bird to lay 1-2 eggs a day from once a month, why only do this to chickens? Why not other birds? Why only chicken?

      Edit: the heck, my app bugged out big time. Made 4-5 comments, sorry for that 😅
