Answer: There is not much that is alive in the Bad Lands.
Explanation:
In "Travels with Charley," by John Steinbeck, the conversation about eggs, and especially the lack of fresh eggs, shows that not much is alive in the Bad Lands, meaning that there´s no fresh food out of animals from the area. That´s why powdered eggs are the only option available. Their exchange doesn´t show, as the other options imply, that people in North Dakota like powdered eggs; actually, they are unable to get any other kind. It doesn´t show that people in the Bad Lands are friendly; the local person seems friendly, but that´s not the main point of their conversation. And, it´s never implied that lots of farmers live in the Bad Lands.
