(AmericanProsperity.com) – Hitting American families hard on their pockets, egg prices reached a new record high as they soared to an unprecedented $4.95 per dozen.
Fueled by a devastating bird flu outbreak, this crisis exposes the fragility of food supply and the consequences of the previous government mismanagement.
The latest consumer price index figures reveal a stark reality: egg prices have reached a record high of $4.95 per dozen.
This astronomical increase is not just a random fluctuation in the market but a direct result of a bird flu epidemic that has ravaged the nation’s poultry farms.
The outbreak has led to the slaughter of nearly 158 million birds, decimating egg production and availability across the country.
This crisis did not happen overnight, culminating in years of inadequate biosecurity measures and government negligence.
The impact of this egg shortage extends far beyond the breakfast table. Egg prices accounted for about two-thirds of the total increase in food costs last month, further straining household budgets already stretched thin by Bidenflation.
In some areas, prices for a dozen eggs can reach a staggering $10 or more, with organic and cage-free options even pricier.
As if the current situation was not dire enough, experts predict egg prices will rise by another 20% this year.
With Easter approaching, a time of high demand for eggs, American families may face even more financial pressure during what should be a joyous holiday season.
Furthermore, due to soaring egg prices, families are being forced to change their eating habits and forego nutritious meals. Some grocery stores are also now implementing purchase limits and surcharges on eggs.
While health officials claim the threat to human health is low, the economic impact on American families is undeniable.
Egg farmers, already grappling with increased feed, fuel, and labor costs due to inflation, are now forced to invest more in biosecurity measures.
Misguided regulations in ten states requiring the sale of cage-free eggs exacerbate the situation.
Ultimately, liberal activists pushed these feel-good policies, which have made egg supply more vulnerable to outbreaks and price fluctuations.
