The only surprise is leftist extremists aren’t hijacking billions of our hard-earned tax dollars to “invest” in fixing food technology that’s not broken. If there’s nothing wrong with eggs, shouldn’t the feral government intervene for one reason or a few dozen others?
No, there’s nothing wrong with eggs, per se. However, not everybody can eat eggs and there are also times when you might need to substitute for them.
I don’t think they should invest public money in this effort. The private research is wonderful.
There are several groups that would use this technology when viable and cost effective. Vegans and vegetarians get the most press. Those allergic to eggs would love it, but don’t get the same attention. And then there are companies that want to make food products that have the binder effect / glue effect of eggs without using the more expensive eggs. Which could bring down the cost of baked goods.
I’m sure that somehow they are hijacking our tax dollars. Either by credits or deductions at the very least.
