Whole eggs? I used to eat 3 eggs every day, but my cholesterol level started creeping up as I age. My doc recommended mixing in egg whites. So now it’s three eggs worth of protein, but one egg worth of cholesterol.
Near as I can tell outbreaks in Iowa account for about 1/3rd of total chickens.
We are (were?) also the state with the most egg laying hens (and by a lot, we had 49 million to the 2 and 3 at 35 mil)
Total effected nation-wide is listed at 57 million atm.
The cheapest eggs are at $5 a dozen here.
But also:
For example, the profits of Cal-Maine Foods — the nation’s largest egg producer and an industry bellwether — “increased in lockstep with rising egg prices through every quarter of the year,” Farm Action claimed. The company reported a tenfold increase in profits over the 26-week period ended Nov. 26, for example, Farm Action said.
So we need an egg price gouging… crack down?
:D
I’m still trying to understand how my state is paying more for eggs than states that have less birds.
And by trying to understand, I think I understand perfectly.
I can’t even yell at my relatives that used to own one of the big egg companies because they got out of it years ago.
I fry the 6 eggs in butter too. I do a lot of cardio so my cholesterol is great! We’ll see how long I can keep that up.
I saw Kirkland egg whites are super cheap, I might make a trek to Costco and stock up on those.
So do I, and I got into that “I can eat whatever I want” mindset because of it. Just got blood tests and have high cholesterol (and high HDL, but maybe too high). Just don’t go overboard, like apparently I did.
I got 18 packs of eggs for $5 at market basket today.
We’re gonna make it, guys.
At last, our long national nightmare is over.
But I bought milk, my god what it cost!
Of course nothing can or should be done about this. It’s still a mystery what’s been driving high gas prices, but give Exxon a trophy for somehow earning record profits, I guess.
catch the egg wave
Thanks Obama!
Holding all my egg futures for the rebound! Diamondhands, YOLO, To The Moon and all that. =)

Buy the dip!
Onion or salsa?
Spinach artichoke
Trader Joe’s made a nice Romesco for a bit.
