I get that the point is inflation, but why eggs? If they went to $12/dozen, it would cost me like $4 extra dollars per week.
Zero after I went vegan 3 years ago.
And honestly, when you know your way around a little and stick mostly to whole foods, it gets dirt cheap if you try. 💚
My son goes through a ridiculous amount or fake eggs! I wish i could get him onto food instead of meat substitutes.
A little advice: You’re not going to gain any ground with him by saying what he eats isn’t food. Try a more understanding approach. That said, I think history is going to side with your son.
I guess the “you can always trust a vegan to tell you they are a vegan” stereotype is true.
OP was asking?! 🤷
If you just want to mock me, think of something more original… I mean, come on. You call that a “joke”?
I really don’t get the downvotes. There was a question. You posted an answer and an explanation to go along with it.
There was no high and mighty attitude anything. Are people just downvoting because you’re vegan? Lol
Are people just downvoting because you’re vegan?
Probably. Some people are fragile. 🤷
My son makes that joke about himself - if you’re vegan and in a band, which one do you talk about first? We all talk about the things that are important to us.
if you’re vegan and in a band, which one do you talk about first?
As a vegan cyclist, I know the pain. 😜
And you are right. The topic is important to me, so tend to talk about it. 💚
C’mon guys. They’re vegan. You know they can’t take a yolk.
I’m really sorry for that. But please don’t be mad at me - I’d rather not have beef with anyone.
Do you train CrossFit and run marathons as well? Obviously not because you would have mentioned it!
“How many eggs you’re eating per week?”
“I’m vegan.”
Bruh I can’t.
I can’t either … eat eggs anymore. 😇
Normally around 6. Ill make scrambled eggs with 3 eggs for breakfast twice a week
This is me. I make a default breakfast a few times a week but only 2 eggs per meal, along with sautéed greens with cherry tomatoes, a small tortilla wedge, blueberries and some sausage.
So it’s costing you $1-2 more per week?
Maybe. I feel like the brand I get maybe has went up .50-$1 the past couple years
Eggs are not that expensive in Sweden, but in all honesty I don’t really eat that many eggs in a week. Maybe if we use it as an ingredient, or maybe I’m having a boiled egg as a healthy snack, but I think most weeks it would be 0.
If we count fast food breakfast sandwiches and meals at places maybe 6 or 7 a week. If not, zero, as I usually make regular ol sandwiches at home.
I forgot to count those - i do grab a breakfast burrito or sandwich for lunch about once a week.
Zero because I don’t have chickens and fuck animal abuse.
You fuck animal abuse?
You eat another species’ menstruation? Byyyyye
Lol what? I didn’t say that. Are you suggesting that you eat human menstruation? I hope it’s at least consensual.
chickens don’t menstruate
As many as possible. It’s one of the perks of my new job, free eggs.
I didn’t know there was afree egg job. Farm? Breakfast restaurant?
breakfast restaurant indeed
Zero now that the price has gone up.
How much had the price changed where you are?
I last bought eggs around $3.50, now they’re just shy of $5/dozen.
I haven’t eaten eggs in a decade, they’re surprisingly easy to avoid.

My pancakes never use eggs, but waffles so.
There are vegan egg substitutes like a flax egg. Here’s my favorite waffle/pancake recipe.
It’s been 6 years for me, but at my peak I used to eat 2 every morning for breakfast.
At one point I looked at all the eggs and chicken breast I was eating by being “healthy” and realized it was not in any way rational or sustainable. How could one person (myself) be responsible for the death of one chicken and two chicks PER DAY! I imagined what it would look like to stuff all those birds into my living room and how there’s no way I could farm something on that scale myself (or want to).
So I switched to a vegan diet and never went back. My personal morals tell me I shouldn’t eat animal products, but for the average person who doesn’t agree I can understand why consumption is through the roof. This separation we have of living creatures into commodities, all behind a legally protected black curtain.
When all that’s talked about is how much per dozen, your mind never really stops to think about the rest.
Commercial eggs aren’t fertilized, when we had chickens we had no rooster and still the hens popped out about one egg per day. That’s why chicken eggs are “eggs”, generally speaking. Not saying they are ethical by whatever standard you are using just that they wouldn’t have turned into a chicken ever.
Lots the chickens are liking the weather it seems.
And ironically the latest egg price rise in the states is because of h5n1 and the stock market taking bets because of that. As much fun as it is to blame trump it would be misinformation to claim its his fault.
I’m not sure anyone really is blaming trump, but when we ask “what’s he doing about the egg prices”, it’s because he and his supporters blamed Biden for high egg prices and it’s fun to hear them make excuses for how the president doesn’t control egg prices.
Depends where I am with training, but up to 70 a week.
Wow! That’s a shitload of eggs! Do you do anything with the shells, like composting?
Nah, I live in an apartment and my city doesn’t have green waste bins :(
Now I have the rocky montage music stuck in my head

Zero. The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children in that they are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection. Consuming eggs is shameful.
Damn, its a shame every animal (besides herbivores) eat other animals. Shame! Shame! Game of Throne bell ringing noises
Oh yes. It’s quite horrible that adult animals need to work to survive.
It’s also quite horrible that I had kids and doomed them to a life of work, suffering from wrestling with mortality, and ultimately ending in death.
Treating animals like people isn’t the great thing you think it is.
At least chickens don’t have to do taxes.
So raising your own chickens and giving them a fine life as long as they live is immoral?
People like you are why vegans are fucking hated, can’t even talk compromise.
Best part is, you’re too fucking stupid to see when you’re acting against animal interests. How’s that rhetoric working out for you? Winning hearts and minds? Or turning more and more against you?
Do you drink water? Or breathe air? Do you know how much bacteria is floating around in the water you drink and the air you breathe? You consume millions of micro organisms everyday, how dare you deprive them of their full life cycle, shame on you!
about 3 fiddy
That’s a lot of eggs!
A few a week, apparently 3 to 4 a week is optimum for health.
About 14. I’m not particularly price-sensitive about it given the absolute cost is low relative to many food options.
Eggs keep getting cited by people trying to blame their political opponents for increases in food prices because they have increased to about 2.5x from five years ago, which is a bigger increase than most foods. The bulk of the increase is due to the ongoing bird flu outbreak, but that fact doesn’t seem to have great distribution among the general public.
