That is the driving force no matter what they say.

And let's face the fact that we eat chickens that have had flu. It's safe to eat them if cooked correctly.

Now that’s a name!

Never quite understood the squeamishness. If you've eaten fish, you've eaten parasites, dead or alive. Eat pork? Parasites. Beef? Twelve sorts of flu! Carrots? Hope you like fungus. Potato? Enjoy every pathogen under the sun! Rice? Enjoy the molds.

But now that chickens get sick, people lose their goddam minds.

I prefer to cook it myself to make sure everything is dead. Not steak of course, but I will cook ground beef until there's no pink. I use a meat thermometer for pork and chicken. I eyeball it for fish and vegetables.

“We are what we eat”.

You can still eat a dead chicken, but they don't lay eggs. Now, with the rollbacks in silly regulations.....like the one stating that food has to be safe to consume......we can expect more of this. Viruses won't survive cooking, but you still have to be careful handling the raw bird.

I'm not giving Trump credit by any stretch, but more people are getting into the industry and they're trying to stay competitive, so prices have been lowering. We just bought two dozen last week, should keep us set for a month or two.

Say what you will about the free market, but sometimes, it does work. And prices have been lowering across the board; Ham, chicken, and turkey specifically. Beef is still pretty high, but it's dropped $1.50 a pound in the past few months.


I honestly don't entirely know what's going on to affect the prices these ways, but my monthly grocery bill went from about $400 to $300. So SOMETHING noticeable is happening.

is not happening on LI. I am not sure about NYC.. LI is not part of NYC/Manhattan, but that is a huge part of NY as well. 😁

I'm kidding of course, and I'm sorry your prices have been going up. Seems prices are shifting to a competitive rural economy and a predatory Urban economy. We get the benefits, you eat the costs.

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. /thanos

I haven't noticed prices dropping and I think eggs are about $5.99 for a dozen large eggs. I'm not sure about the price of eggs because I have a friend with chickens and ducks and I get my eggs from her.

Buy in bulk get HEAVY discounts. Like 15 bucks for ... eight dozen I think? Gods knows I'd never use that many eggs though so I haven't really eyeballed those prices.

My wife and I go to the grocery store, Meijer her in West Michigan. When we get to the eggs, I make a big show of talking loudly, "My word! Eggs are going up in price! This is insane, it's $5.50 for a dozen eggs! That's double what it was a couple years ago! What is going on? Everything is so much more expensive now than just a couple months ago!"

I get a couple looks. And I might even throw in, "What ever happened to Day 1 the prices will be lowered?"

$100. Did buy 4 shrimp but wasnt much money. Instant coffee jar

People that drive cars that cost over $100K don't worry about prices of everyday items. Just sayin'.

If you gave me the money to buy one out of your own pocket I wouldn't on principle alone. XD

they kept claiming that inflation was their biggest election issue. Yet one candidate consistently promised to increase prices and they voted for him.

Sure, DOGE will fix everything.

Want the rest? Sue me!
