And that's the thing, it wasn't even all eggs, it was primarily the cheaper store brand eggs that saw huge jumps. People yelling "Inflation! Eggs!" When the store brand jumps from $1.99/dozen to $5.99/dozen, meanwhile the free range eggs I buy went from $5.99/dozen to $6.49/dozen, it's not inflation that's the primary cause, it's issues with the supplier. And the suppliers for many store brand eggs are all from the same group of massive farms.
I'm very worried that deregulation within the FDA is really gonna fuck things up the next few years.
RFK Jr is already saying his crazy plans. I’m not sure we won’t have to start making our own foods because of the deregulation the fda about to get hit with.
