The advantage of a totalitarian ideology is that it can be applied to everything. For example, global warmism dictates even what color eggs should be offered for sale.

The moonbats at HuffPost report from the UK:

Retailer Sainsbury’s has pledged to stop selling brown eggs under their own brand as part of their sustainability program, moving to white-shelled versions instead.

Here’s why:

An assessment by SAC Consulting for Sainsbury’s found that brown eggs have a 12.7% higher carbon footprint than white eggs, as the hens that produce brown eggs are larger and eat more food.

Next comes the government ban on brown eggs. Next after than come restrictions on how large a hen can grow. If this fails to perfect the weather, tighter regulation will be required.

Chicken manure emits greenhouse gases, methane and nitrous oxide as well as ammonia, which can have “detrimental impacts on the environment and… animal and human health”, per Aberystwyth University’s Farming Connect.

Clearly Big Government must take a leading role in confronting the menace posed by chicken droppings.

[T]he British Egg Industry Council said white-egg-laying hens make up about 15% of our flocks, compared to the US, whereas white eggs account for 75% of all eggs consumed in the US.

This could be curtains for the many British chickens that lay politically incorrectly colored eggs. But as the communists say, you can’t make an omelet…

Replacing them with climate-compliant chickens will cost money. No one ever said that achieving zero emissions utopia would come cheap.
