The current average price for a carton of eggs is nearly $5 per dozen

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.

    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 :(

        So you’re admitting I’m correct.

        It’s not about needs, it’s about wants and entitlement.

        And you’ll get mad at anyone who calls it out :(

          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.
