It's not that eggs are bad.

It's more that that's a shit ton of eggs. Money aside, this just contributes even more to the incredibly polluting factory farm industry.

A suppliment synthesized in a lab has far less ecological impact. Also it's far cheaper.

It's 400 calories worth of eggs, a very modest meal that would get you to just 1200 calories a day. That is not a shit ton of eggs.

Back when I was in college I would eat 6 eggs plus some fruit for breakfast because I was flat broke and they kept me full all day.

4 eggs a day isnt a shit ton of eggs by any means.
