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.

It would require much more
than "cheaply":
1.It has to provide same
nutrition.e.g. egg with
B12 removed would not be equivalent to chicken egg.
2.It could be privately produced like eggs. (As otherwise people depend on megacorporations abusing their mass production costs to monopolize the market) 3.It would need to have to compete with existing culinary preferences: i.e. recipes with eggs would not 'adapt to artificial eggs', with people continuing to use chicken eggs.
