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.

It depends. Eggs are part of cakes and pancakes, and a very quick to cook healthy thing to eat. Family of 4 now, we go through between 8 eggs on a light week and 32 eggs on a week I make a lot of egg stuff, or if someone is bulking, like today I made shakshuka for supper and a cake, that’s eight eggs in one meal.
I think they are a commodity and historically a cheap source of animal protein, that’s why they are talked about.
Protein is not a nutrient that anyone is deficient in. Any plant that humans eat provides enough protein if you consume enough to meet your calorie requirements. You have never met a person who is in protein deficiency who was not also literally in starvation from not having eaten. The whole “we need a cheap source of protein” thing is a myth. It’s everywhere, it’s inescapable. It’s literally the building blocks of all life on Earth. It’s like people in the 50s extolling the health virtues of smoking, it’s pure marketing bullshit that we have become completely steeped in.
Eggs are not healthy to consume.
