Summary
Egg prices are projected to rise by 41% in 2025, according to the USDA, following an already steep increase due to a severe bird flu outbreak that reduced egg-laying hen populations.
The current average price per dozen is nearly $5, with some areas seeing prices as high as $10. Restaurants like Waffle House and Denny’s have added surcharges.
Meanwhile, the USDA mistakenly fired key bird flu response workers, sparking criticism.
Trump stated his administration will take action but has offered no specifics.
USDA mistakenly fired key bird flu response workers
No. No they didn’t.
They fired people to try to free money for more tax breaks for the top 1% with zero concern if these people were needed or useful.
Close: they are enemies of the United States acting out of malice toward the goal of weakening the United States.
We are under attack.
Time to start putting up those trump ‘i did this’ stickers in supermarkets untill they ban me again.
I can’t afford that.
tbh at this rate, eggs are going to be more expensive than the substitutions
Tofu scramble is pretty good. Firm or extra firm tofu block, slice and crumble into a bowl. 1 tbsp turmeric, 1 tbsp black pepper, 1 tbsp garlic powder, mix. Cook in a pan on medium stirring occasionally, will turn yellow as it heats up. Then add key ingredient black salt (kala namak, a salt with a strong sulfur flavor) to taste. Mix in with your pan fry mix of choice, I like onion/garlic/serrano/mushroom/smoked paprika/chili powder/spinach/tomato and green pepper/cilantro added at the end. Serve with fruit and toast.
Deep fried tofu with peanut sauce is like crack.

Sucks for Americans. I got a dozen extra extra large eggs in Canada for 5$ Canadian…
For those living close to Canada, I wonder if they can cross the border to go grocery shopping.
I managed to find a dozen for $4.97 yesterday. It’s the best I’ve been able to find in some time.
Why does it feel like I’m reading articles about egg prices virtually every day. I don’t get why anyone cares this much.
I guess it was because the price of eggs was practically a campaigning slogan shared a lot around trump supporters.
…so? As far as I know, the prices are up due to all the bird flu cases which to my understanding has nothing to do with trump.
