Why is the prevailing story in the media “the price of eggs is high” and not “record windfall profits from food and oil companies” ??

America’s largest egg producer Cal-Maine reported a record quarterly profit of $198 million

Anti-poverty charity Oxfam is calling for governments to impose windfall taxes on large food companies

THAT’S the story.

Grocery prices remained high even as inflation slowed.

butter prices rose 27%
milk rose 14.7%
flour rose 24.9%

Does anyone want to tell me how bird flu affects milk prices? Without laughing.

@flexghost weirdly, pork is the only thing that's gotten cheaper, at least where I live. Fresh veg has also almost doubled. We all know none of these prices will ever go down again, regardless of the "inflation rate".
