Amid the egg production shortage caused by the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in poultry, more than 50 local convenience stores, known for their made-to-order, on-the-go hot food options, have begun rolling out breakfast sandwiches called “Bird Flu Bailout.”

The classic menu item has been remixed and made with Just Egg, a plant-based egg substitute.

Strange to think that a virus could potentially save so many yet unborn individuals from atrocity. Now we just need pig ebola and bovine SARS.

Isn't the virus causing the culling of lots of birds? I don't think this is any better than if they were eaten. I mean, I guess these birds dieing early does mean they suffer less.

The virus makes egg farming less profitable, potentially entirely unprofitable. That could represent billions or trillions of individuals never born into exploitation and atrocity.
