Aye, a farmer on the news this morning says that they lose 30p per dozen to the supermarkets. I'm buying from a local farmer at an eye-watering price, but heck, I like omlettes

All they had at my store were top tier organic free range eggs. Now I know how shitty my old eggs were

Yeah, there is a major difference between the budget eggs, and eggs from healthy chickens on a farm.

I'd heard the bird flu narrative, while a small part of it, was a distraction. The real issue is that the egg farmers won't accept the low prices the supermarkets were trying to force on them. The issue was firmly with the supermarkets.

While I don't doubt that for a second, the bird flu narrative isn't a distraction. They're actually underplaying it. Bird flu in North America right now is completely and devastatingly out of hand. It's so much worse than what they're portraying to the public.
