    The us has killed more than 15 million chickens just the last few weeks. Sometimes with foam. If other countries have to do that their prices will rise too. NHK had a great documentary recently about an egg family that was doing pasture raised eggs at $1 each.

        I haven always been buying “good eggs” but pasture raised are actually cheaper than battery at my local grocery the last few times I’ve gone. Kinda crazy.
