check out your local farmer's market. they're likely to have farm fresh eggs.
and as for the economic / efficient arguement, here's my point of view. yes, it's more environmentally sustainable to eat only grains and beans and the like. or rather, there is less impact on the grain supply. it takes more energy to "grow" a cow. thus, beef is more expensive, and WORTH EVERY PENNY! i'm ok with paying up $15 / pound for top quality rib eye or porterhouse. because it freakin' tastes good. period.
should we stop making sauces and stocks as well? we're just evaporating away all that perfect good liquid! it's to concentrate the flavors. mmmmm, and for me, beef is the same idea - just flavor concentration. take the yumminess of grain, multiply it by 10, and viola! beef.
