Let's hope this business doesn't spread... There's a recipe for making faked eggs in the article, btw.

A customer who bought a box of eggs at 45 kg from a mall found eight faked eggs in the box. The faked eggs were filled with soil inside. In China, egg is sold based on weight. The heavier the egg, the more profitable it is.

Although the faked eggs looked practically the same as real ones, the consumer smelled chemicals when cooking the eggs (figure 2). The egg yolk dispersed quickly when it was mixed with the egg white, and the colour was pale. No flavour could be tasted after cooking. According to the officials of the National Bureau of Industry and Commerce, the faked eggs were made from chemicals (<A name="r14" href="http://web.archive.org/web/20060428034330/http://www.ispub.com/ostia/#e14">
