I don’t get it why there is an egg crisis. If they are too expensive, don’t eat eggs. Are eggs like insulin for some people?
Eggs are a staple food and an ingredient in an absolute fuck ton of things. They’re also very nutrient-dense and a major source of protein for vegetarians and people who can’t eat meat. Sure, you can just not buy eggs but that’s not realistic for everyone and it doesn’t stop the price of everything that includes eggs as an ingredient from going up.
Such an american thing tho, i barely ever use eggs and i kinda like them, mostly just for cake thingies.

Its absolutely not an “American thing” Just about every asian country eats more eggs than Americans per capita. It’s in like half or more of their staple dishes.

And Mexicans somehow eat even more eggs than Asians. (Surprising Google discovery)
