The non organic ones are not much better now. Luckily my Walmart hasn't raised the price of the twin pack yet so it's still $7.32.

I doubt there is a shortage. Manufacturers are gouging people now because the pandemic for the most part isn't causing any delays etc but people know if there is less of something, they can charge more for it.

I went to buy a 24 pak of coke and it was priced at $12.99 and I remember not that long ago (say a year or so ago) they were selling in my area for $8.99 and 12 paks were going for $4.99 and now 12's are going $7.99 and in some stores $8.99.

Chickens aren't necessarily laying fewer eggs (though avian flu has impacted how many chickens can be kept in a given farm), but economic factors do affect how expensive it is to hire people to collect the eggs, how expensive it is to run the necessary equipment, how much it costs to feed the chickens, and how much it costs to transport the eggs to market. There's also almost certainly quite a bit of price gouging going on, since corporations have latched on to "we need to account for inflation" as an excuse to jack up prices of pretty much everything (thereby themselves becoming inflation), but economic factors certainly do affect the cost of eggs.

It's a combination of increased egg demand from the holidays, increased energy and feed costs involved in raising chickens, and most importantly avian flu forcing the culling of 50+ million poultry (which I believe is the worst ever year of it). Of note, the culling predominately effected laying chickens and not meat chickens, hence the cost of poultry not similarly following suit.

But hey, let's go the it's a conspiracy to rip off the consumer route.

The populace is somehow not banding together and realizing if we all just agreed to not buy eggs for two weeks, we could collectively tank the market and drive prices through the floor. But people lack the motivation, hopefulness, and/or ambition to try such a hilariously easy manuver. If someone can't go two weeks without eating an egg, I would be surprised to learn that they know how to tie their shoes.

Everytime we see an ostrich egg on a cooking show my wife and I both make this same high pitched eewwwww! Sound because the first time we saw it, it was on an episode of Chopped (I think) and when the contestant broke it open thats what they said.

Coffee tastes great, so does kombucha, a lot of teas. You can make a healthy pizza from scratch, you don't need to get a Digornio or Papa John's. I don't know, soda to me is just the absolute bottom of the barrel choice. At least even a carry-out pizza holds some level of nutritional value. Even a pecan pie will give you some protein and antioxidants. But to each their own, we all have vices of course.

I dont like most coffees without tons of cream and sugar. Most teas are ok. Never really had kombucha Even if I drank those, I wouldnt stop drinking soda and lemonade Most of the time, when I crave a certain drink, I drink it. Because I like the taste I dont like homemade pizza. And if I did, I still wouldnt make it healthy. I would add a ton of extra cheese as both cheese and pizza are two of my favorite foods (the other being macaroni and cheese If I made a healthy pizza, Id absolutely hate it So, Ill stick with pizza from a chain Frozen is ok, but I usually dont want those as much I will eat them if someone makes it, though Soda might be a bottom barrel choice for you, and thats fine. I like the taste, so I drink it Also, carry-out pizza are chains, too, right? Most places have carry-out In the end, I like to eat what taste good to me

Cheese isn't inherently bad for you, not sure where that kind of thing gets started and goes around. I'm sure it has to do with decades of incorrect stigma about fats and/or the general association of cheese being paired with some unhealthy foods. Anyway, sorry for making you go in depth on it, I really just meant my comment as an aside. I do honestly hope you maintain a good balance of things too, wellbeing is as equally important as satisfaction.

Cheese itself probably isnt bad. The amount I would out on it probably is, though Its just big a pizza with meat and a ton of cheese

So if you made some kind of whole grain dough without separating the germ and you make a sauce from tomatoes and you used vegetables and cold pressed olive oil, that's unhealthy? Because that's really weird you'd say that. These are all ingredients found in many common dishes that aren't labeled unhealthy, but somehow stacking those and putting them in an oven makes them unhealthy? This board is the most contrarian cesspool I have ever seen.

Tbf, just because something is in a dish thats healthy doesnt mean that food itself is healthy It could just be a different amount of certain ingredients, for example A dish has multiple ingredients, so And if you think this board is the most contrarian, you must not have been to CE That place is awful sometimes

If someone can't go two weeks without eating an egg, I would be surprised to learn that they know how to tie their shoes.

That's more than a little hopelessly idealistic. Getting the entire country to agree to do anything is pretty much impossible, let alone something that will inconvenience them at all. On top of that, to pull off such a feat would require the plan to be very heavily publicized, in which case those selling eggs would notice what was going on and just jack the prices back up after normal consumption resumed.

I'm also getting the impression that you think it's just a matter of people choosing to not have a couple eggs for breakfast, which grossly underestimates the culinary significance of eggs. To stop using eggs altogether would require pretty much every single non-vegan bakery to close, as well as every breakfast-focused restaurant (most of them have options other than serving eggs directly, but pancakes, waffles, crepes, and french toast all require eggs, and cutting those out as well would leave a pretty sparse menu). Eggs are incredibly versatile as an ingredient, offering many valuable physical properties that can be difficult and expensive to replicate (and, again, the degree to which such a boycott would be publicized would likely result in short-term price increases for those substitutes to capitalize on the spike in demand).
