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.
Cause eggs are in fucking everything.
Zero. The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children in that they are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection. Consuming eggs is shameful.
Damn, its a shame every animal (besides herbivores) eat other animals. Shame! Shame! Game of Throne bell ringing noises
So raising your own chickens and giving them a fine life as long as they live is immoral?
People like you are why vegans are fucking hated, can’t even talk compromise.
Best part is, you’re too fucking stupid to see when you’re acting against animal interests. How’s that rhetoric working out for you? Winning hearts and minds? Or turning more and more against you?
Oh yes. It’s quite horrible that adult animals need to work to survive.
It’s also quite horrible that I had kids and doomed them to a life of work, suffering from wrestling with mortality, and ultimately ending in death.
Treating animals like people isn’t the great thing you think it is.
At least chickens don’t have to do taxes.
Do you drink water? Or breathe air? Do you know how much bacteria is floating around in the water you drink and the air you breathe? You consume millions of micro organisms everyday, how dare you deprive them of their full life cycle, shame on you!
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.
Whatever gets put in pad Thai once a week.

Because eggs are seen as a very reasonable weekly purchase that a consumer can see a price delta in over a short period of time.
Eggs because:
Vance gave a quote bashing the price of eggs, but he cited a number much higher than the sign he was standing next to.
Dems pounced on this, mocking the blatant exaggeration and dismissing any concerns about a cost of living crisis.
It stuck around because it’s emblematic of the overall situation:
Repubs don’t give a shit about facts, just vibes, and wanna paint as dark of a picture as possible.
Dems only care about being correct on paper, and don’t give a shit about listening to the problems of ordinary people or doing anything that could be called “radical”.
I haven’t eaten eggs in a decade, they’re surprisingly easy to avoid.

My pancakes never use eggs, but waffles so.
Depends where I am with training, but up to 70 a week.
A few a week, apparently 3 to 4 a week is optimum for health.
As many as possible. It’s one of the perks of my new job, free eggs.
I get that the point is inflation, but why eggs?
It’s because the current avian flu, chicken and egg farms are having to kill a metric fuck ton of their chickens. 😢 Meanwhile spray tan is already vowing to gut the CDC and leave WHO.
maybe if we just stop testing for avian flu it will go away
/s just to be sure
You know, if you spent your entire life living underground and never saw the sky, you’d never worry about silly little things like asteroids crashing into the planet and killing everyone.
It doesn’t mean you’ll survive any better, you just get to die ignorant.
Asintomatic avian flu chickens are being sacrificed? Poor creatures.
Wait… I thought it was because of Biden.
Zero after I went vegan 3 years ago.
And honestly, when you know your way around a little and stick mostly to whole foods, it gets dirt cheap if you try. 💚
“How many eggs you’re eating per week?”
“I’m vegan.”
Bruh I can’t.
I guess the “you can always trust a vegan to tell you they are a vegan” stereotype is true.
OP was asking?! 🤷
If you just want to mock me, think of something more original… I mean, come on. You call that a “joke”?
I really don’t get the downvotes. There was a question. You posted an answer and an explanation to go along with it.
There was no high and mighty attitude anything. Are people just downvoting because you’re vegan? Lol
Do you train CrossFit and run marathons as well? Obviously not because you would have mentioned it!
Eggs still only 3 something where I am. Don’t eat em much but maybe a dozen each month or two.
Lots the chickens are liking the weather it seems.
And ironically the latest egg price rise in the states is because of h5n1 and the stock market taking bets because of that. As much fun as it is to blame trump it would be misinformation to claim its his fault.
I’m not sure anyone really is blaming trump, but when we ask “what’s he doing about the egg prices”, it’s because he and his supporters blamed Biden for high egg prices and it’s fun to hear them make excuses for how the president doesn’t control egg prices.
