“We just wanted cheaper eggs” Little do these morons realize that it’s due to the avian flu. A single chicken in a flock gets infected and every chicken on the property has to be put down. When that happens at multiple commercial flocks, eggs are going to go up in price.

And they want even less regulation (read: none) in the food industry, and just can't seem to put two and two together.

Upton Sinclair is spinning in his grave.

Well, in that case they just won't bother putting the chickens down. Cheap eggs! Well all be sick, though.

And the H5N1 has recently jumped from livestock to humans. 55 cases across the nation reported this year. Only a matter of time before the virus adapts to human lung receptors for human to human transmission. As we already know how trump will handle the public health emergency…No testing, deny it exists, inject bleach, punt all federal responsibility creating no national plan and let the states fight it out. He’ll call it China virus 2.

But this time there's close to a 50% mortality rate. It will be interesting to see if that can convince any of the cult members to mask or if they'll insist on clinging to their "freedumbs."

I mean isn't he* already spinning in his grave?

Like the Jungle was meant to be a piece about how exploited meat workers (immigrants mostly) were but its legacy has mostly been that of the FDA and food regulation (which are good things).

And let's not forget the raw milk they are pushing a few farms have found avian flu in the milk. They are drinking it. We will all end up dying from it. It's a 50/50 shot at living or death.

Pffff.... clearly Biden just moved the "egg price" slider towards "more expensive" for shits and giggles.

Just like Trump moved the hurricane with a sharpie. That’s how that works, right? 🥴

'The deep state is keeping prices high even though Trump said lower prices with tariffs, Trump said Mexico was gonna pay'
