I get that the point is inflation, but why eggs? If they went to $12/dozen, it would cost me like $4 extra dollars per week.
Six; 42 a week! Easy way to hit my protein goals everyday and maintain those gains :D
Most weeks maybe just un oeuf. I think since I stopped eating breakfast and found out my body hates gluten (so heavily reducing baked goods, my other main use of eggs), my egg consumption went way down. The one weekly is generally from going to get sushi and there being some tamagoyaki in there. I guess the odd exception is throwing one (boiled or raw) into soup and the rare occasion that I knock out a fried rice.
Edit: I think 10 local eggs are around 500 yen, at least the last time I checked. More expensive than non-local, and the price has definitely gone up generally in the last few years.
It’s not just inflation. Eggs are experiencing a supply problem due to avian flu.
I eat 3 eggs every morning. 21 a week.
Eggs are too expensive.
8 per day so 56 per week; please keep them cheap
you eat 8 eggs EVERYDAY?
lol yep, every day for breakfast; scrambled with some butter, sour cream, salt and pepper 😋
Feta and jalapenos
You ever try throwing some green onions or mushrooms in there? I used to eat almost the same except for the sour cream
Gaston just doxed himself
42 a week, or 6 a day.
However, 30 eggs is only $3 where I live.
Zero. I used to have a fried egg for lunch every day but many years ago something switched in my brain and now the flavor of them really puts me off.
I don’t really eat eggs. I have ducks that lay eggs and if I really want some, I eat what they produce. I might try selling their eggs as a side hustle but a lot of people are grossed out by the concept of eating duck eggs for some reason lol
How are they compared to chicken eggs?
Yes
I know what I’m about, son
Cause eggs are in fucking everything.
About 14. I’m not particularly price-sensitive about it given the absolute cost is low relative to many food options.
Eggs keep getting cited by people trying to blame their political opponents for increases in food prices because they have increased to about 2.5x from five years ago, which is a bigger increase than most foods. The bulk of the increase is due to the ongoing bird flu outbreak, but that fact doesn’t seem to have great distribution among the general public.
Eggs because:
Vance gave a quote bashing the price of eggs, but he cited a number much higher than the sign he was standing next to.
Dems pounced on this, mocking the blatant exaggeration and dismissing any concerns about a cost of living crisis.
It stuck around because it’s emblematic of the overall situation:
Repubs don’t give a shit about facts, just vibes, and wanna paint as dark of a picture as possible.
Dems only care about being correct on paper, and don’t give a shit about listening to the problems of ordinary people or doing anything that could be called “radical”.
Because eggs are seen as a very reasonable weekly purchase that a consumer can see a price delta in over a short period of time.
When I was younger about 14 eggs a week. Now about 9.
Where I am eggs have only gone up about $0.20 in the last few months. Still under $6 per dozen for cage free eggs. Maybe $3.50 for caged eggs?
About the same here. I think sprouts had large cage free for $4 this week.
It depends. Eggs are part of cakes and pancakes, and a very quick to cook healthy thing to eat. Family of 4 now, we go through between 8 eggs on a light week and 32 eggs on a week I make a lot of egg stuff, or if someone is bulking, like today I made shakshuka for supper and a cake, that’s eight eggs in one meal.
I think they are a commodity and historically a cheap source of animal protein, that’s why they are talked about.
Protein is not a nutrient that anyone is deficient in. Any plant that humans eat provides enough protein if you consume enough to meet your calorie requirements. You have never met a person who is in protein deficiency who was not also literally in starvation from not having eaten. The whole “we need a cheap source of protein” thing is a myth. It’s everywhere, it’s inescapable. It’s literally the building blocks of all life on Earth. It’s like people in the 50s extolling the health virtues of smoking, it’s pure marketing bullshit that we have become completely steeped in.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcopenia
Sarcopenia is a real thing, happening to people who eat a “healthy” diet.
The fact of the matter is most people are not eating enough bioavailable and complete protein (with all the essential amino acids). If your missing any of the amino acids you can’t use that “protein”
Not to mention food labels use crude protin, a measure of nitrogen, they don’t actually measure the amino acids.
Sadly this means many people trying to hit their moderate protein targets of 1g/kg bodyweight are absolutely not getting enough protein.
Using this graph as an example, different foods have different amounts of bioavailable nutrition. Nobody is going to eat 12kg of processed grains a day to hit their minimums.
