We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

"The United States has reached out to Denmark..."

You know, the country the United States wants to invade and forcefully take land from.

America: The dumbest rocks in the sock drawer.

I don't know if it helps anyone, but you don't need eggs to survive

[–] [email protected] 15 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly, hamburgers, fries, kfc and pizza are all egg-free. What do they need eggs for, breakfast menu at macdonalds?

Doesn't KFC use eggs in the batter?

What does it look like when one of the world's superpowers can't even ensure they can provide such a basic thing as eggs to their citizens.
If it was any other country at any other time, I doubt this would even hit the news. But it's the US after refusing vaccinations, losing a bunch of stock to a disease, all whilst claiming the egg prices will be lowered, so here we are.

It's called a revolt.

I feels very Soviet Uniony, but the US has always a lot in common with Russia..

The United States isn't a superpower.

It's just a country with a lot of guns.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It's the foremost superpower by the definition of the word.

Most of my cookie recipes use eggs!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

Look up vegan alternatives to eggs. I know applesauce can be used in cookies as my wife has done this. Also if you need eggs in savory recipes avocados have the same fat to protein ratio and work great

Aquafaba from garbanzo beans is an excellent egg substitute for baking.

Don't avocados have an insane ecological footprint?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 21 hours ago

*compared to other plants.

They are associated with less carbon emissions per kg than eggs. Normally the real issue is that we're exporting the ecological impacts, but if people are importing eggs, avocados are probably better of both fronts. Source

I personally use flax as an egg replacer most of the time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Yup and are comparable in price to eggs currently I didn't say it was a practical alternative just that they work as a perfect replacement. More of just highlighting there are options.

One of my kids is super allergic to eggs so we've gone years without them in the house and found ways to adjust recipes due to that and other food allergies.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago

plus, nowhere near as cruel.

The cool thing is theres like a dozen different alternatives that all taste different, which cab be overwhelming at first but you have a lot more choice as well. Apple sauce is excellent for a lot of sweet breakfast recipes and pastries. We've used bananas too, and like you said avocado is a good choice too.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 21 hours ago

Oh man, most of my egg recipes do too

What will I eat with my bacon?!

Perhaps a couple of Lipitor? In my house we've started saving money by substituting Wegovy for eggs in our recipes.
