Eggs, in a lab: For a while now, the folks at Hampton Creek Foods have been working on creating a plant-based version of eggs in a lab that’s 1) as close to the real thing as possible in every way imaginable, 2) with better health benefits, such as no cholesterol, and 3) cheaper than buying an egg in a grocery store.
