[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've started buying the free range variety or Eggsland's Best, because they're only like a $1-2 more for an 18-pack than a regular 18-pack. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯[/quote]

The expensive ones don't taste any different to me.[/quote]

Don’t buy egg lands best. [/quote]

Why?[/quote]

Here you go. Lots of good stuff here: https://www.truthorfiction.com/eggs-chickens-and-windfall-profit-tax-tweets/

In the summary - so avoid Egg-Land's Best, Farmhouse Eggs & Land O'Lake Eggs:

"Alongside memes about “expensive eggs” across social media, a January 15 2023 tweet by Sen. Bernie Sanders about a “windfall profits tax” and egg prices began circulating. Sanders claimed that a supplier of three brands increased its profits by 65 percent in the previous fiscal quarter “to a record-breaking $198 million while doubling the price of eggs & reporting no positive cases of avian flu.” The tweet did not include a citation for the figures Sanders referenced.

A January 13 2023 CNN Business article reported that, just as Sanders claimed, supplier Cal-Maine (or CALM) had increased their profit by 65 percent to $198 million in the most recent quarter. CNN referenced a statement, which matched a December 28 2022 egg industry report. In it, Cal-Maine’s Chief Financial Officer mentioned net income of “$198.6 million,” matching Sanders’ tweet.[/quote]
