Seems like a great time to remind folks that there are plenty of alternatives to use as the beitzah (egg) on your seder plate this weekend. Our top favorites are: a white radish, small peeled potato, white eggplant, or a spring flower!

Did you know that the earliest seders didn't include an egg or shankbone as food symbols?🧵

A great overview from Business Insider of how factory farming is impacting food prices and public health!
We hope you'll consider leaving eggs off your seder plate this year in favor of more ethical (and cheaper!) alternatives.
