    It feels disingenuous to approach this topic with the view that the eggs are the problem and people need to just eat fewer eggs.

    The problem is the food cost increases and the eggs are just one example. It’s called nuance and we’ve lost our ability to understand it. Stop trying to blame consumers for this when it is driven by profits.

      It sounds like y’all are using the egg price as a barometer, very much the same way the French use the baguette price to talk about the economy and inflation, because it’s something everyone relates to (except the politicians that are sure to be made fun of when they get it wrong, exposing how out of touch they are with the common folk).

        Agreed, the comment I was replying to indicated the solution was to just eat something cheaper than eggs while ignoring the fundamental issue of food costs. I was trying to highlight that in my response to that post.
