What's hilarious is that he's pretending as if she were president and that she had complete control of grocery store prices. Also anything that Dems do to try and make life easier, Repubs block.
Unfortunately it's two different crowds. The top price is what your average person sees, the bottom prices are what billionaires looking to launder money into the Trump campaign see
I can’t figure out why eggs are so essential, but I’m probably biased as a vegan. I just don’t recall buying tons of eggs all the time (or at all).
Tofu scramble is dead easy to make and the non-vegan people in my life are so shocked it’s not real eggs.
In my mind animals product are always going to increase in cost as large-scale animal agriculture becomes less and less sustainable. We can artificially lower costs by subsidizing, but that too isn’t sustainable.

I think it's lovely that your friends respect your lifestyle and love you so much that they're happy to lie to you about your wallpaper-paste scramble 😊
I think it’s lovely you feel the need to come up with some “clever” line about having never tasted. You act like I’ve never fucking had eggs before — I’ve only been vegan six years and I’ve definitely accidentally had eggs in that time.
Silly me I always forget that 90% of Lemmy are fucking tools too.
I tried a vegan "egg" last week, it was OK I guess but more expensive. If the economics work out like you say, then eventually those will get better, and cheaper, and then become the new "egg" used in the consumer price index.
Eggs are also used in other ways than just scrambling and eating them directly, like baking.
I'm not vegan but I don't love animal products so much I'd oppose it. When people are like "I need my lunch to be tasty I don't care about suffering, the environment, or disease" they sound really simple minded and selfish.
I would eat nothing but rice and beans every day if it made a difference for climate change. I'm not emotionally invested in food and it's not part of my identity.
Tofu scramble tastes like murder. It only tastes like eggs when you've lost the memory of what eggs actually taste like, kinda like vegan bacon or ground beef. I'm a vegetarian but I refuse to lie to people and tell them my meatless alternative tastes the same or is indistinguishable.
Eggs from happy chickens walking around in your yard helping with pest control taste even better. Though they're all different sizes so you need to get used to weighing them instead of counting. And sometimes they have poo on them.
