Anything that gets us closer to a world in which chickens are not farmed for their meat or eggs is good. The incomprehensible violence of factory farming for mere taste is unforgivable, and stuff like this is a small step to its undoing.

I would like very much to eat proteins of the same quality as animal proteins, but made by a fungus or yeast, instead of eating animal proteins.<p>I hope that one day this would be possible.<p>Nevertheless, I will never eat food having a secret chemical composition and&#x2F;or food whose production is monopolized by the sole owner of some patents, as it appears to be the case with this product.<p>Any kind of food must have a chemical composition that is completely published, because there have been far too many examples in history, of stupidity in assessing what is good or not too eat.<p>I would not care if some non-essential food has a single-source, e.g. some fancy kind of chocolate.<p>On the other hand for a food whose purpose is to provide the nutrients that keep you alive, e.g. the necessary daily intake of proteins, it must be possible to be produced everywhere and by everyone, without restrictions.<p>It is acceptable for its production methods to be patented, but the patents must be licensed to anyone on FRAND terms.<p>Until such conditions will be met by an animal-substitute food, it cannot really substitute the animal food, except for niche uses, regardless of how well it reproduces the taste and any other qualities of the original food.

The yolk&#x27;s on them if they&#x27;re only getting the white right - they&#x27;re missing the best bit.

I can&#x27;t wait to be able to buy stuff like this or &quot;cow-free milk&quot; in the supermarket, but it&#x27;ll be a long long time due to the irrational European fear of GMOs which is a basic tool for most cases of bio-engineered yeasts.

Chicken-free egg products have become remarkably good. I bought and enjoyed ready-made folded egg recently and didn’t realize until afterwards that it was plant-based.

These aren&#x27;t really egg whites, since they don&#x27;t come from … eggs.<p>They could be called &#x27;chicken-free egg white substitutes,&#x27; though.

This type of stuff will eventually lead us to a vegan world. It&#x27;s hard to see it now but future generations will find it harder to slaughter millions of animals when perfect meat substitutes are available. It will be similar to the slow transition from fossil fuels.

The things yeast has been engineered to do keeps on surprising me. I hope this can quickly and cheaply scale up to make eggs obsolete.

What&#x27;s wrong with humans eating authentic meat and eggs? I mean, other creatures do it.<p>I can&#x27;t wait for the day when they come out with plant-free vegetables.<p>If it already exists please don&#x27;t tell me.
