      I mean, per bean yeah, but depending on the bean and on the egg…

      Anyway eggs are delicious and most people like them, plus you use them in baking things like bread, cookies, cakes, and the like (beans don’t work for those purposes I believe).

      And in the USA with the genetically modified chicken clones that never see outside a single day in their short brutal lifetimes, at like <15¢ per egg they were very affordable, although at $1 a pop not so much.

      I’m not desiring to argue for a carnivorous diet and especially not against a plant-based one, just proffering explanation to the question (well, at least I took “Geez this country is really obsessed with eggs” as one - perhaps I was incorrect in doing so.)
