    Dry goods are still reliable, but the issue at hand is that a dozen eggs are now 8-9 dollars, and that rise was pretty fast.

    People relying on eggs for survival and not part as a diversified diet need to switch to other sources right now which they might not have available. You won’t survive on rice only. Beans should definitely be added to your diet for their health benefits and as a way to be less insecure with food. However, eggs were also playing that part and now it’s not reliable anymore.

    In a vacuum, it isn’t that big of a deal, but in reality, already strained people are even more strained right now and the egg prices exploding is just another kick in the guts.
