Because we evolved to eat the energy produced by plants. Even our meat eats the energy produce by plants. If you were to create chemical energy that we could somehow ingest and was bioavailable for our bodies, you still have to get the energy from somewhere not to mention the plethora of other fats, vitamins, proteins, and phytochemicals we need. That e egg would ultimately come from the sun or i suppose it could come from nuclear energy. It would be a tasteless inefficient and dirty process. Our current is renewable and biodegradability
