Egg prices are still high at the grocery store — so plant-based egg alternatives are using this moment to make their case

In some ways, it’s been a difficult year for egg alternatives. Retail sales fell 3.4% by unit in the 12 months through January 28 compared to the prior year, per NielsenIQ, though dollar sales went up. In that period, eggs sales by unit ticked up .5%, despite a 54% jump in prices. But in recent weeks, interest has spiked. Brands like Just Egg and Zero Egg, which make egg alternatives, say they’ve seen momentum in January.

Sector data shows a similar trend for the past few months: In the week through January 28, unit sales of egg substitutes jumped 18% compared to the week ending in December 3 in US retail, according to NielsenIQ. In that last week of January, unit sales of egg alternatives were up 3.5% compared to the prior year. That week, regular egg sales were down 8.2% by unit, year over year. Individual shoppers aren’t the only one exploring alternatives. Restaurants are, too.

Hmm I wonder who owns all the plant based eggs… it’s bill gates

i trade you . 2 dozens eggs for the girls. rahahaha. or 1 dozen for your sister .hu

Comes in an enviromentally great plastic bag too. Give the dolphins something to play with.

Rolling on floor, laughing out loud and saying all corporate farms should be illegal and we know manipulating the market is - how many military and congress changed stocks the day before the fires?

Eat the bugs and plant based products peasants.

No.

Everything these days is becoming plant based . I just don't like the sound it. I should stop grocery shopping and just go into the backyard to graze.

No fucking way I'm putting that chemical crap in my body

No.

Lying Biden caused this..you helped elect that disgusting document stealing failure!!

Nope stop pushing this fake food crap on us

no one aint eating that garabage cnn

Eat Ze bugz

F no. I want real eggs after work out

Nope

Plant based eggs should just be called soy sludge. Shits nasty

$5.99 for free range organic today

nope

Well isn’t that just convenient…. Screw Gates and gang.

They released non-egg eggs in the 80's. The 1880's you hacks!

Egg prices are already plummeting on wholesale markets.

Daily reminder: If your 'Plant based alternative' isn't a salad, it's some overly-processed slop that isn't actually fit for human consumption and far more unhealthy than the product it's replacing.

yes and we won't be buying that garbage just like we don't buy that horrible tasting impossible meat! shove if up your a$$ CNN! you are fake news

Remember solvent green the movie?

Remember SOLVENT GREEN MOVIE?

No “plant based” crap!! It’s full of unhealthy chemicals.

Plant based eggs? So seeds? Do you break open an almond and fry it? Yeah, no thanks.

Just go green beans/peas. They actually have one of the most complete protein/amino acid chain out there(and hemp). Thats why a lot of protein powders out there use them.. Still not as good as eggs

Put chickens out of biz . Factory farm eggs suck anyway .

In the past, the USDA has suggested a limit of 200 mg of cholesterol per day for those at risk of coronary heart disease and no more than 300 mg of cholesterol per day for those not at increased cardiovascular disease risk [3].Jun 27, 2022 2 eggs are equal to 374 mg.

Maybe this would be a good time to element some high cholesterol from your diet anyway.

Chickens eat plants, therefore real eggs are already plant-based. 😁

I rather just buy the chickens and house them in my backyard then eat that soyslop fake egg crap.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Thanks Biden!

The plot thickens 🤣🤣🤣

Thank God I have friends with chickens....I hope you all do. I can only hope plant based eggs go the way of what's happening with Beyond Meat.

Bill Gates invested about $2 billion in developing artificial eggs. The fake eggs will be as safe as the vaccine so eat up!

Stop trying to make fake meat and dairy product a thing. If you dont want to eat meat or dairy there are plenty of substitutes

How can plant based anything be an alternative when the cost of fertilizer is through the roof.

Can I get payed in eggs now?

wtf is a plant based egg? 🤨🤡

Tf outta here

Oh hell no

Plants don’t lay eggs.

Wow what an extraordinary coincidence!!

Arguably harmful tech,,

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮

Vegetarianism is a cancer to our society. Should be illegal to make your kids vegetarians. I can’t name a single good vegetarian football player.

No thanks.

Gee wonder why

Nope

No.

This is what the government wants, total control of everything.

Guys eggs aren’t that good just don’t buy them for a while…

it’s just a grotesque postmodern psyop and anyone who’s fallen for it is brain damaged

Nobody wants that crap. Your child sniffing president is destroying this country.

Nah, we’re good

Ahhh so the real agenda

Veganism is about non violence. Animals value their lives and the egg industry is the worst industry for animals. Male chicks are ground up in blenders alive and feed back to their mothers.

You couldn't pay me to eat that trash.

If I want eggs I'll eat eggs if I want a plant I'll eat plants.

I rather starve.
