I’m sure plant-based egg substitutes will be as popular and widely consumed as veggie burgers.

The article talked a lot about “greenhouse gases.” It also discussed “sustainable agriculture” and all of the other buzzwords radical vegetarians use to try to force vegetarianism down everyone’s throats. They make these claims about how land-intensive growing animals for food is, without ever mentioning that those animals eat plants and plant parts that are inedible for humans. I cannot see how more vegetarianism can have any effect other than to increase the amount of land used for agriculture, all to provide a diet that is not as nutritious or appealing as a diet that includes food from both plants and animals.

I think I'll go break a couple of eggs in protest.

Into a frying pan along with some bacon.

There’s a niche for it. Those who cannot eat eggs for religious reasons and ethical ones (vegetarians, vegans, Hindus I think). And those allergic to eggs.
