More and more people may be adopting a plant-based diet out of economic necessity. Recent events mean that eggs are exorbitantly priced and sometimes unavailable. Chicken is going to become more expensive if this continues. Beef and seafood are already expensive.
The left coast has been getting hammered for a while. Pricey $9-$11 free-range available, cheap $3-4 'factory farming' ones only appear on the shelves sporadically.
Today I sent my husband out to get eggs. The stockers were going to throw our packages of eggs that were unsold because they had broken ones (leaving no full cartons behind) and he had to ask them to let him create a full carton of unbroken eggs from another carton. Egglands Best $4.19 doz in DE.
Going to tell my grand kids about how during Halloween delinquents would throw eggs at people's houses, and that's how rich their Boomer ancestors were.
Works for me. Between bird flu, cost and creepy way chickens are handled in factory farms, I just try to avoid real eggs. Not 100% with it but make an effort.
honestly, i have no idea what happens to our eggs prior to ending up in the supermarket, but I'm assuming something similar here in the UK because we don't store them in the fridge...
probably people stocking up before the storm, southern cities don't have the infrastructure to deal with ice or snow on the roads so it's safest to just not go out for a few days

In a civil world, nobody would need to drastically upend their dietary habits and replace them with new ones, but... we're not in a civilised world.

there is a natural barrier that is there and protects the eggs from bacteria.
eggs in austria are sometimes stored in the fridge for sales reasons, but mostly theyre not cooled
🤣
Then all the eggs will be back and at 1950s prices.
