'Artificial egg' made from PLANTS backed by Bill Gates set to revolutionize cooking goes on sale at Whole Foods
By Mark Prigg In San Francisco


A radical ‘artificial egg’ backed by Paypal billionaire Peter Thiel and Bill Gates goes on sale in US supermarkets for the first time today.

Made from plants, it can replace eggs in everything from cakes to mayonnaise - without a chicken ever coming close to the production process.

The team today started selling their ‘plant egg’, called Beyond Eggs, in Whole Foods in California - and say it could soon be available in supermarkets worldwide.

Can someone explain the point of this?  Any third world asshole can keep chickens that will lay eggs on the daily.  If this thing isn't significantly healthier or cheaper, why bother?  I doubt it will yield nearly as much product as a chicken does.  Article says it takes the animal out of the equation.  Who gives a shit?  It's not like the chicken is getting hurt by laying the eggs.

You seen the conditions battery hens are kept in? That's why.
