*But the price of eggs??!!*

those 2019 egg prices had me feeling some sort of way

I’m curious if the demand for eggs has also dropped dramatically. I feel like they’re a staple because they’re usually very cheap but aren’t exactly necessary in most households.

is this adjusted to inflation? because if its not, in Argentina we have a better graph /s

That’s got a Bitcoin double spike. Give me a few minutes, I should have an EggCoin crypto for everyone to buy, and we can all get rich.

Watching news from the US, you’d think the president has a little dial under their desk to adjust the price of eggs.

To be honest I always consider US is a superpower country, with hight life level, it is very strange to see eggs prices

I made a website tracking Bird Flu and the effect on egg prices if you wanted to check it out: [Bird Flu Tracker](https://www.trackh5n1.com/)

Americans were paying only $1.50 for a dozen eggs until just recently??? That’s insane.

Oh, now do Canada’s egg prices. Ya’ bein gouged in the US of A

The spikes in 2004 and 2015 were also large bird flu outbreaks in the US. The rise from roughly 2004-’08 was a result of collusion between several egg companies to increase prices by artificially limiting supply, according to a lawsuit that ended relatively recently.

If this is true then why don’t we see a completely outrageous spike in wings, breasts, legs, and anything related to chickens? One egg per day per chicken vs two legs per chicken after months of growth.
The math doesn’t math in my head

I dont think 5 dollars for 12 eggs is outrageous, what baffles me is how in the hell could 12 eggs be 1 dollar in 2000? That will not make any profit. Maybe gov subsidies?
I am not from USA, here they are about 6€ for 12 freerange or organic eggs.

The fact they were completely steady throughout the entire 90s…

You can make delicious “eggs” using mung beans.
Soak then drain the mung beans and blend them with water, nutritional yeast, turmeric, black salt, baking powder, and seasoning until smooth.
eilif_myrhe on
That’s for usa, right?
It’s less than two dollars per dozen eggs in my country.

I’m sorry I feel a bit dumb for asking this, but are the complaints coming from the US about eggs really literally just about eggs? Like I thought “rising prices of eggs” was just shorthand for inflation and rising costs of groceries in general. But now I’ve seen a bunch of stats, comments and videos about specifically eggs being expensive. Is inflation literally specifically targeting eggs in the US? Am I crazy? Is this what everyone’s angry about?

I would be interested to the change in demand mapped over the same time. I believe that egg consumption may have increased due to the rise of Keto lovers.

what’s with Americans and their obsession with very quickly expiring dairy products any time a world event happens? “oh im gonna be stuck in my house for a month, better buy a gallon of milk that expires in 6 days!”

2015 was a bird flu outbreak, too.

The fact that this was a major campaign point is dumb. The president isn’t going to change the price of eggs or the price of gas, that’s not how it works.

Just make the y-axis start at 0. It’s already close!
