Dear Editor (and other humans):
I’ve heard that the price of my eggs in the US has risen about 20% in 2025, so I’m writing to let you know that there are alternatives, and in terms of my health as a chicken and the environment we share, they’re better than my eggs.
Just Eggs, for example, is an “egg” made from mung beans. It scrambles, it fluffs and it tastes delicious, all without forcing me and my sisters to work overtime during the so-called egg shortage. Just Eggs have about the same amount of protein and fat as my own eggs, but no cholesterol! And, they take a lot less energy and emissions to produce.
The same goes true for AcreMade Plant-Based Eggs, made from the protein in good old peas, which I also like to eat, but hey, simple physics says that if you eat the peas and leave me out of the picture, there’s a huge energy savings there.
You have choices these days, and there really are better ways to do the same old things. You may even save a few dollars, but it’s a lot more important than chicken feed. It’s about the way we all treat each other and the planet we share.
Sincerely,
Gallus Domesticus (aka the Domestic Chicken)
