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.

If we count fast food breakfast sandwiches and meals at places maybe 6 or 7 a week. If not, zero, as I usually make regular ol sandwiches at home.

Yeah, but how many eggs do you eat? /s

[–] viking@infosec.pub 1 points 2 hours ago

I guess around 8-12, sometimes more, rarely less.

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 hours ago

Almost none. Allergies.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 12 points 7 hours ago

It’s not just inflation. Eggs are experiencing a supply problem due to avian flu.

[–] astanix@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

I eat 3 eggs every morning. 21 a week.

Eggs are too expensive.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 3 points 6 hours ago

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.

Six; 42 a week! Easy way to hit my protein goals everyday and maintain those gains :D

[–] s3rvant@lemmy.ml 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

8 per day so 56 per week; please keep them cheap

Gaston just doxed himself

[–] s3rvant@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

lol yep, every day for breakfast; scrambled with some butter, sour cream, salt and pepper 😋

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 3 points 2 hours ago

8 eggs for breakfast alone? Daily?

[–] JustAnotherKay@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

You ever try throwing some green onions or mushrooms in there? I used to eat almost the same except for the sour cream

[–] Today@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

Feta and jalapenos

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Today@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

How are they compared to chicken eggs?

[–] Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Richer flavor, they have higher levels of fat and protein. I much prefer them to chicken eggs.

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 4 points 8 hours ago

42 a week, or 6 a day.

However, 30 eggs is only $3 where I live.

[–] Zak@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago

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.

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago

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.

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 8 points 10 hours ago

Cause eggs are in fucking everything.

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 10 points 11 hours ago

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”.
