Egg shortage

Would you kill all elm trees in Michigan because of Dutch Elm Disease? Does that make sense?

"It's not called Dutch Elm Disease because we love killing elms. It's called Dutch Elm Disease because we were the first to identify it, and to learn how to limit its spread."

I think you have me confused with the person who named it Dutch Elm Disease. How do you limit it's spread?

Kill all of the laying hens you want except mine. I don't buy eggs, I sell them for $5 per dozen. Do you buy them or sell them?

Similarly, we are trying to stop the spread of bird flu so it doesn't kill all chickens and ducks all over the world. Meanwhile, you don't want t ...[text shortened]... be seen not selling an egg for 2p. so you would rather let every single song bird in the world die.

Despite the price increase, eggs are still a low cost protein. Compared to other food products, not too much of the price is devoted to the packaging.

Eggs are dollars a dozen where I live.
At 60 cents apiece, they are hardly low cost.
Other places they are even more, getting close to a buck an egg.
