[COPENHAGEN] The United States has reached out to Denmark and other European nations asking if they can export eggs as Americans face surging egg prices, the Nordic country’s egg association said on Friday (Mar 14). Read more at The Business Times.

“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.

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

      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.

        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

          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.

            *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.

            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.
