      Yeah, eggs are a terrible example. The sky high price last year wasn’t because of inflation, it was because farms had to kill giant numbers of chickens due to the bird flu. If you take something like milk, it’s more representative.

      To add to the other reply, at one point we culled 52 million egg laying hens.

          But don’t you want to start the day with fried fowl fetus? Part of a balanced diet

          Want cheap eggs? Factory farming is the only way. Bird flu culls will forever make prices bounce around.

          My wife and I are wanting to raise chickens, she has the experience and we have a solid hen house, just need fencing. My last vegan gf didn’t like that idea, said it was still exploitative and hurt the chickens keeping them laying eggs. Gf before her had a couple of backyard chickens and they seemed happy and content, loved her. What are your thoughts?
