We have to look at reality
Eggs priced at $4.95 in 2024 - $6.78 in 2025
They even got up to $8.15 3 weeks ago.
They are now down to an average of $4.15 but one of the reasons that they are down is because:
Egg prices have recently fallen due to a combination of factors, including a slowdown in bird flu outbreaks and reduced consumer demand following high prices.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Bird Flu Outbreaks Slowing:
The initial surge in egg prices was largely attributed to the severe impact of bird flu outbreaks on egg-laying hens, leading to a significant reduction in egg supply. As outbreaks have slowed, the nation's egg supply has begun to recover, leading to a decrease in wholesale prices.
Weaker Consumer Demand:
High egg prices led to a decline in consumer demand, as people became less willing to purchase eggs at the higher prices. This reduced demand has contributed to the drop in prices.
This is not due to Trump doing anything. Reduced demand is basically, people eating less eggs because of the high prices, which occurred under Trump's watch.
