We could just try not eating any, or at least not so many.
The egg thing is really strange to me. Are people eating a few eggs every single day? I usually buy an 18 count every few weeks at most.
I understand that eggs are used in a significant amount of products that aren't just raw eggs, but the people complaining so loudly are probably not the businesses that use them.
The direct issue is the price on the shelf. People see it and get angry, but it raises the cost of a significant number of products in the store.
The other problem I see is that eggs are $8 a dozen and the shelves are FULL. That's not a shortage driving the price-up scenario. That's farmers doing a money grab.
If your self is mostly empty and their high priced, it's super legit. If there's no shortage week after week and the prices are 2x-3x it's shenanigans.
I eat one a day and sometimes the family has breakfast together with eggs on the weekends
Haven't had one in 20 years tbh...
