Your comment ends with the following statement "Fake egg products are not healthy". How is your statement true? Have you seen the list of ingredients in fake mayo? Most of them are made with natural, plant-based ingredients. Have you seen the list of ingredients in real mayonnaise? Some of them have chemicals and preservatives in them because they're made with eggs.
