Opinion: Plant-Based Eggs Suck
Note: There are some potential pros, but this article is covering the cons. Also, this isn’t mean to offend anybody. This is just my opinion.
Alright, let’s talk about plant-based eggs. You’ve probably seen them sitting in some overpriced, eco-friendly-looking bottle at the store, promising to be the “future of food.”
But let’s be real — these things are a joke. They’re not eggs, they don’t taste like eggs, and they sure as hell don’t cook like eggs.
They’re some weird science experiment in a bottle, and somehow, people are paying more for them than actual eggs.
If you’ve ever considered swapping your real eggs for this nonsense, let me stop you right there. Here’s why plant-based eggs are a complete and utter scam.
1. They’re Just a Chemical Slurry
Eggs come from chickens. Simple. You crack one open, cook it, eat it — done. Plant-based eggs? They come from a factory and are filled with all kinds of weird stuff like modified food starch, xanthan gum, and random oils just to make them resemble eggs.
The ingredient list reads more like something from a science lab than a kitchen.
