Wondering too. I think people just like something to panic and complain about. Especially if they can blame Trump

The consumer price index for eggs in the U.S. is at an all time high. Ever. And it is projected to go up by another 40% this year. So yeah, it’s a big deal. And egg prices disproportionately affect people with food insecurity, so perhaps you can join the rest of humanity by caring about someone other than yourself.

I'm all for ensuring a safety net of food for those who need it, but there needs to be nutritional standards. It's a no-brainer that Soda, Cheetos, and candy should not be allowed.

$5.49 for a dozen at Walmart this week.

Walmart is such a ripoff these days.
Used to be cheap prices 30 years ago, but they have progressively raised their prices beyond their early rates to try to squeeze out more profit.
Local stores often have competitive prices to walmart now and even cheaper with many products.

Tip:

1 Tbls ground flax plus 3 Tbls water (mix and let sit 5 min) is the equivalent of one egg and can be used to replace up to two eggs in most recipes. Works great for baked goods and you cannot tell difference. The cost of a bag of ground flax ranges from $5–$10 and has the potential to offer 80+ egg replacements. If nothing else, good to have on hand in case you run out of eggs or can’t get to the store and your child needs to bring in brownies for school.

Epic for America ? Seriously? It's a mini Heritage Foundation. For actual facts, please see this report.

Did you bother to look at the USDA summary in the link your posted? It is the exact same chart. Eggs are ranked #20 behind all the junk food items.

My kids eat scrambled eggs for breakfast almost every day. We have egg based dinner as well. Much healthier now after we did this and cut out red meat.

Costco full organic brown eggs $4.50/dozen. (In reality it’s 24 eggs for $9.) Just got some again today. Two weeks ago they were $8.50/24 though.

2 eggs meals a day? Too much if 1 food...

$6 for a dozen jumbo eggs at the Germantown Wegmans yesterday. The rest were less expensive.

What is interesting is that pasture raised regenerative egg prices have stayed stable (and they are delicious and ethically grown) while conventional eggs prices have skyrocketed.

I’ve always bought local eggs, quality and taste are completely different, but they’ve always been at least $10.

Less the 4.50 at Safeway for premium eggs.
