There’s not a surplus of meat and eggs anywhere. There are vast surpluses of all grains due to the Haber-Bosch process and the Green Revolution, plus national security concerns.

Also, famines were semi-regular occurrences across the world until very recently.
Your idea would work if meat and eggs took fewer resources to produce, but reality does not work like that.
