Summary
Egg prices are projected to rise by 41% in 2025, according to the USDA, following an already steep increase due to a severe bird flu outbreak that reduced egg-laying hen populations.
The current average price per dozen is nearly $5, with some areas seeing prices as high as $10. Restaurants like Waffle House and Denny’s have added surcharges.
Meanwhile, the USDA mistakenly fired key bird flu response workers, sparking criticism.
Trump stated his administration will take action but has offered no specifics.
I can’t afford that.
Sure you can.
You just don’t want to because you’re addicted and entitled to food you think is tasty.
Eating is entertainment for you, not survival.
Edit: And you’ll get mad at anyone who calls it out :(
I don’t want to just survive. I want to enjoy my life. If that’s asking too much, get fucked.
So you’re admitting I’m correct.
It’s not about needs, it’s about wants and entitlement.
If you live only for needs and don’t look past the base tier of Maslow’s Hierarchy, that’s a miserable existence.
Oh you live in a climate controlled building with electricity? Existence is more about comfort to you than survival.
He was saying he couldn’t afford it though, which isn’t true.
He was trying to conflate his needs with his wants, then got mad at me when I called it out along with the rest of the cognitive dissonance crowd.
Funny how you guys immediately jump to “living completely without wants” when someone dares to suggest you don’t need meat!
Criticizing meat-eaters always puts into perspective how “smart” the average person is these days.
I’m not mad, I’m pointing out that the insinuation that eating food being purely a matter of survival without the consideration of enjoyment would not be very fulfilling.
If you make the argument that something as basic as consuming sustenance should not be enjoyed, anyone else could make the same argument about any of life’s enjoyments or comforts that you otherwise partake in.
He’s the one who tried to conflate his needs with his wants, not me.
The same argument also can’t be made for “any of life’s enjoyments or comforts that you otherwise partake in.”
It’s sad watching you people refuse to acknowledge when you’re part of the problem, but I never expect more at this point.
I wouldn’t expect much if you go antagonising people out of nowhere.
Humans do need a regular source of protein to prevent being malnourished.
FYI, I’m blocking you. I’m not about to go down your crazy rabbit hole.
That doesn’t have to be meat.
Lol. Plug your ears to facts you don’t like. I don’t expect more from ya’ll at this point.
The point you’re making is stupid and accomplishes nothing.
Not really, you’re just mad because you’re part of the crowd I’m criticizing.
I’d be a fool to expect more from people like you.
What’s wrong with wanting to enjoy something?

The murder makes it taste better.
tbh at this rate, eggs are going to be more expensive than the substitutions
