I get that the point is inflation, but why eggs? If they went to $12/dozen, it would cost me like $4 extra dollars per week.

    Commercial eggs aren’t fertilized, when we had chickens we had no rooster and still the hens popped out about one egg per day. That’s why chicken eggs are “eggs”, generally speaking. Not saying they are ethical by whatever standard you are using just that they wouldn’t have turned into a chicken ever.

      Sure commercial eggs aren’t, but they’re supposed to be. Egg laying takes a toll on the hens and the conditions they’re kept in are deplorable.

      Still, thank you for adding clarification. Education is never bad.
