And the farmers are as well because most of the price increase stays with the distributors.In '23, 60 million were culled. In '22, 140 million were culled. Egg prices weren't impacted (at least not like today)....We are being played for fools.
Something you may not realize is that bananas (we actually eat) went commercially extinct in the 50’s
The ones we eat now are also on the way to going commercially extinct. (Intractable blight and disease)
Citrus is also going commercially extinct as it’s being killed off by an intractable bug.
The food landscape might need to change dramatically in 5-10 years, at least with eggs we could actually go old school with pullets, I find it amusing we don’t but I bet industry expects these cheap and has all the small stuff under contract for liquid eggs that go to fast food, dog food and canning
