So I know eggs are used in a lot of products.

But I don't eat eggs by themselves. I get my protein from tons of other things. I get that like, you can't make pancakes or cake without an egg. But like I don't enjoy egg-based sauces for whatever reason.

Are eggs really that vital that the price gouging can't just be boycotted?

Not only are they completely unnecessary, theyre also causing climate change. We need to shift away from eggs and meat just as much as coal and oil

Eggs ~~are~~ were one of the cheapest sources of sustainable protein for many low-income families in the US.
