Egg prices are soaring, breaking new records as the bird flu outbreak grows.
Why it matters: No food item has been as much of an inflation poster child like eggs, and their prices often give a clue about the economic environment.
Driving the news: A dozen large eggs in the Midwest "hit an unprecedented $6.07 per dozen" on Thursday, surpassing the previous record of $5.46 set in December 2022, according to price-reporting service Expana.

(201 posts)Going forward it is all trumps fault. Trump has caused the prices to skyrocket is all that should be stated. Facts DO NOT MATTER it's the perception of the Ignoratti and if you just say it enough times they will buy it.
I suggest that WE start using THEIR tactics against THEM. Exploit their gullability FULLY.

(34 posts)Made from mung beans. Delicious, cooks like eggs, can use like eggs in baked goods, you can't tell the difference. Loaded with protein.
Most important, cruelty-free.
Believe it or not, you actually CAN live without eggs.
