You'd have to be extremely selfish and a climate denier to think that the price of eggs going up is a bad thing
I agree with the sentiment long term, but short term - it's gonna be a disaster to put something like eggs beyond the reach of the poor/uneducated especially and it'd be much better to have people gradually eased into something like this.
There are whole lot of idiots that think they must have animal protein or else they will die. Not even kidding; I've been a vegetarian (mostly vegan) for 20+ years and I get people agog that I'm even still alive, LOL. That's from adults, mind you, not children. I suspect that's because of the extreme amount of animal protein marketing and that nutritional education in this country is just plain terrible. I suppose it's getting better, though, since about 5% of the population is veg*n.
Sure, long term is to ban them. Short term is to increase the price.
And, along the way, you need government marketing telling people that animal protein is the #1 cause of heart disease in the US, and tell them to eat peanut butter or beans instead. Or not worry about it because protein is a nutrient that's extremely rare to be malnourished-in.
Then redirect them to the nutrients that they should worry about (which are actually a problem in most US American's diets), such as calcium, vitamin D, B12, etc.
Eggs are the lowest impact animal protein that’s readily available. You’d have to be an actual idiot to think that increased egg costs will result in lower carbon and methane footprints for the average consumer.
You are an idiot for not recognizing its impact on the climate.
