I'm a bit confused at your confusion when it's been explained Every. Single. Damn. Time. this conversation comes up.
I must have been out. I thought making something look like a hard boiled egg when you wouldn't touch a real egg seemed particularly weird.

Farmers are already suffering from much lower yields due to the very low rainfall this year. This will affect all sorts of other things in the food chain - cereals and other crops which are grown to feed things like chickens, cattle through the winter as a supplement, means that costs to the consumers are likely to be higher next year.
And as chickens are fed grain, surely their eggs ought to be vegetarian…
