Geez this country is really obsessed with eggs. Almost like it’s some kind of hard addiction.
At this point, I’m astonished no one has come up with some kind of synthetic egg that looks, acts, and tastes just like the real thing.
It appears a hen needs about 115g of feed a day to produce one 50g egg, so the product yield is less than half the input, plus all the other overhead like conditioned living space, water, antibiotics, lobbying for ag-gag laws against animal rights activists… I bet someone could come up with a more efficient way to make an egg. They could even call it something like “Aeg™” which could have some cute marketing meaning.
Not only that, they also reduce organic waste, they help keep some pests at bay and they fertilize the soil for you
The little town of Limburg, Belgium offered 3 chickens to 2,000 households as an experiment in 2010 to cut down on household waste. Belgian officials have reported that the chickens are a huge success, organic waste has been cut in half and the families have gained a supply of free, fresh eggs.
We should be bringing back keeping animals at home, chickens for sure at least, ducks are loud cunts.
Then someone should open a business that butchers the chicken for you, so you don’t have to get your hands dirty even.
i grew up in post soviet era central europe, collecting all the vegetable scraps and even eggshels onto a bowl while cooking then taking it out back and giving it to chickens was the norm.
I was thinking about this myself. I think it’s a breakfast staple even more than in other countries, and in larger quantities. And for many people it might be the most affordable source of animal protein? Until recently, that is.
Decided to look it up a bit and there is so much conflicting info. One says fermented food like sauerkraut contains lots of B12. Another says it contains none at all.
I know it’s produced by some types of bacteria, but then could it also depend on production method? So if that is the case could it be in traditionally home made but not industrially produced sauerkraut?
Perhaps the baking process can change levels of B12 in the bread? Or maybe different kinds of yeast? It is a mushroom after all.
I haven’t really looked that much into myself, I have only ever heard (and read once on a vegan organization’s website) that if you are vegan, you are strongly advised to supplement your food with B12 because it is difficult, if not impossible, to eat the needed levels of B12 on a vegan diet.

Is bacteria part of the animal kingdom? I know mushroom to be a bit of both animal and plant. Reading about kingdoms now it looks like my knowledge on the subject is a bit dated.

That’s surprisingly efficient.

Peacocks are what you need my friend. You’ll think ducks are very quiet quite soon.
Nothing like something that sounds like a woman screaming to really liven up the neighborhood. Beautiful plumage, though.

Fortunately people dont need animal protein at all. Plant protein is cheaper and better for the climate. Always has been
We do need vitamin B12 which can only be found (naturally) in the animal kingdom. It can be supplemented though.
Yeast contains B12, that is pretty natural.
TIL
