What I don't understand about the egg problem.

Don't you freeze them out of the shell?

"Meat" is just muscle, and steroids help build muscle. And genetics also plays a big part. It isn't fluid retention there. And think about this: humans are bigger than they were in the 50's as well.

I wonder how much of the steroids and chemicals get passed along from eating the meat...

Are they using Atomic radiation?

Last week on the news, there was a report of backyard chicken owners whose birds stopped laying or only produced an egg once in a while. This went on for a year with one guy & then he changed feed. His birds went back into production. Another lady did the same thing & her birds produced again. The one thing they both had in common was Purina Chicken Feed.

My friend & a neighbor hasn't had any problem with their birds, but then they use locally produced feed.

To be honest, I didn't know there was an "egg problem". Here, in N. E. PA, eggs are about $4.50/doz. They might be a few cents more expensive. But at $0.38 an egg, they aren't breaking the bank.

You don't see a problem when eggs have skyrocketed over 300% in one year?

I see a different and bigger egg “problem” and that is people pretending to know what they don’t know, really. Think about Humpty Dumpty. He was an egg, right? Not so fast, think again.

Why is Humpty Dumpty an egg?

Why is Humpty Dumpty an egg?

So he would fall off the wall. No egg, no story.

Sorry, that line was supposed to be a link.
And the imagination of many is what makes most think of an egg in that story.
Humpty Dumpty was actually an … Well, use your imagination or click the link.

I'd say it was Lewis Carroll's imagination that made people see Humpty Dumpty as an egg. But I think you and I can agree that, whatever he was, after that fall he was beyond rescue.

This is how things are being explained to us: There was an increase in egg usage over the holidays because of folks making lots of deserts and stuffing, and putting eggs in their pea salad. At the same time the farmers have to kill their chickens that are infected with chicken flu. So currently there is a shortage of eggs the likes of which we have not seen before. Like the toilet paper drought of 2021. That shortage has caused the price of eggs to shoot up in our supply and demand free economy world.

Now, we eat a lot of chicken over here at Casa Del MikeyDude, and we monitor the price of chicken. That price has not increased, or if it has it's not enough to really notice. How come? Why, if there is an egg shortage, and they have to kill off all those chickens, is there not a chicken shortage? What are they doing with all those sick chickens they kill? Are they selling them to us consumers?

Yes, I usually just scamble them in a bowl 2 or 3 at a time. Pour into a ziplock bag, lat flat and freeze. I use them in baking or breakfast mostly.
