I think another great issue in this saga is the part played by the National Egg Board. This is a publicly funded organization whose mission is to promote the use, sale, and consumption of eggs; i.e. the "incredible edible egg" campaign. The National Egg Board is supposed to be neutral - after all it's publicly funded - but instead it was actively trying to thwart Hampton Creek, and use its position to damage sales.
Checkoff boards can be very interesting when they get involved in approving one company over another.
Full Disclosure: I love Just Mayo, but don't buy it because it's a bit pricey.

I'm certainly not saying that was the case with HC, but as we enter this period of "food disruption" we have to be cognizant of the possibility.

- tedmiston 9y agoI think the product tastes great. If I recall it had a good shelf life too. I'd buy it over real mayo dollar for dollar. Unfortunately I'd been buying it from Target who is discontinuing it.
