What's going on with US egg prices?
Manage episode 478698202 series 1897284
Why are egg prices in the US so high? The price of a dozen eggs has risen dramatically this year, and in some stores, consumers face prices approaching the 10 dollar mark – five times the long-term average.
Meanwhile, breakfasts are booming for US hospitality but restaurants are also raising their prices.
In a country where the average citizen eats 280 eggs annually, is there an end in sight to the high cost of buying this household staple? Or is it time to look for an egg alternative?
