A radical ‘artificial egg’ backed by Paypal billionaire Peter Thiel and Bill Gates goes on sale in US supermarkets for the first time today.

How much will these vege-eggs cost? Can you get them over easy?
Remember when soy meal was going to replace ground beef?
There is one. Websearch drumstick tree. Disclosure, while I like vegetables, I find they taste better with a little meat.
