I’ve always bought the most expensive pasture raised free range cage free eggs at Whole Foods. If I recall they used to be around $10 per dozen. Been a while. Anyone know Is this still the case?
its 3-4$ at trader joes - still 8ish in WholeFoods in Michigan
Pretty surprised they are still that low given prices elsewhere.

That's not it at all and it's hard to see how you interpreted it that way. Trump promised to bring down egg prices and grocery prices on day one. It was an obvious lie and now that it has been proven it was a lie it's important to let people know the current president lied to them flagrantly. >"I don't care that working people find things expensive" Literally no one is saying that.
It wasn't obvious to the voters. And at the risk of repeating myself, calling people stupid is not effective.

Try in good faith.

"but egg prices!!!". They might as well be.

It's not a "cheap political shot". He literally promised that prices would be lowered day 1 of his presidency. > When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One These are his own words. What happened? https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/28/economy/trump-inflation-p...

question: why hasn't this had a side effect of raising food prices in general? a significant percentage of foodstuffs involve eggs.

I view it more as a "the campaign was run on egg prices too, and the president isn't lowering prices"
The snark predates the outcome of the election.

Why does this mostly affect the US? I've been abroad most of the year and eggs don't seem overly expensive.
The bird flu is mostly contained to North America. Birds fly north/south, not east/west, so so far there has been no reports of it moving across either ocean. This is why Europeans and Asians are terrified of bird flu transmitting between humans, because then an infected human could get on a plane and spread it there. So far, however, that threat remains unrealised.
Eggs store very well when refrigerated and are naturally optimal in terms of physical volume. Buy eggs in bulk and store them in a large mixing bowl or other round container in your refrigerator.
Eggs store pretty poorly in the fridge because liquids transpire through the shell. Within a month your egg will be 20% air.

Fresh, local eggs have remained around the same price here. While more expensive than eggs from large producers in normal times, they are now often cheaper. This is a great reminder of how important it is to support local farmers and small operations, which increase the resilience of the system as a whole.
What we're seeing are the consequences of factory farming and not treating animals like the living beings they are.
Yeah, bird flu is really bad.
What is the executive branch of the government doing about H5N1 currently? I have not seen any press releases or statements about it. edit: I'm not being facetious, and don't welcome flippant replies. I'm genuinely interested, since I haven't seen any updates and have well-founded reasons to be skeptical this is getting the necessary attention.
