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.

Repubs: inflation has exploded during Biden and Harris

Everyone else: hey, remember when the entire economy shut down mid-march of the orange turds last year?

Rebups: ...that was Biden and hairris's fault

I always like to remind everyone that inflation as we know it is because of Republican Richard Nixon.

You'd could never launder enough hostile state donations with delicious eggs

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 😊

Always gonna get haters for being brave enough to post as a vegan! I'm with you. And I'm sure that Tofu is bangin

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.

[–] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 2 points 1 month ago

I don’t lie to people either, but tofu scramble literally tastes like eggs?

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

I buy my eggs from the Mennonites who bring them to a local market right by my house. They cost more but not by much, and they are so worth it, the yolks are so bright and tasty. I love having fried eggs made with them. They also have great dairy stuff they bring, and baked goods.

[–] JoeKrogan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Any good tofu recipes ?

necessitys should be cheap in order to have more to spend on turnip
