  Good thing I never was a fan of eggs in my ramen 
  EDIT: Damn y'all some haters, fuck eggs in ramen I'll stand by that

  Japan has culled just under 10 million birds as it confronts a massive outbreak of avian flu, which is threatening to put further strain on poultry supply and increase the price of eggs.
  In a statement Tuesday, the agriculture ministry said 9.98 million animals had been killed this season, surpassing a previous record of 9.87 million that were slaughtered in fiscal 2020, during a previous bird flu crisis.
  In Japan, wholesale prices for eggs reached a record high last month as shipments dropped, according to public broadcaster NHK. Higher feed costs for hens and the avian flu are worsening the outlook, it reported, citing comments from the agriculture ministry.

  If you think that's a lot, 1.42 billion chicken wings are eaten on Super Bowl Sunday, which, divided by 4 wings per chicken (including drumsticks), is 355 million chickens in one day. >
  
  I can see like $12 for a dozen. >
  
  Don’t forget to buy eggs i can see egg hoarding coming to a neighborhood near by >
  
  They're definitely soaring here.  In the past year, a dozen has gone from $1.39 to $5.69 as of Saturday. >

  You know, I know people are creatures of habit and whatnot. But maybe it's time to look somewhere other than eggs for protein. 1doz eggs has about as much protein as 1lb of 85/15 ground turkey, and at least locally, the ground turkey is much cheaper than a dozen eggs. Heck, even ground beef is cheaper than eggs now. 
  anyway just my 2c. And yeah still buy eggs for stuff like baking. 
  And also, ofc if you figure it's still worth the cost, well... there ya go. That's why eggs are so expensive now. >
  
  Little hard to bake without eggs tho. >
  
  My kid’s allergic to eggs (RIP breakfast burritos), so we’ve learned all the egg replacement tricks. They don’t all work in every recipe, but we’ve found that applesauce or plain yogurt work in 95% of everything. >
  
  Are they allergic or do they have an egg intolerance?
  Not trying to be pedantic, I’m just curious because I always thought I got sick if I ate in the morning. Then when I was around fucking 30 I baked a bunch of eggs in a muffin tin because I was broke and it was cheap and healthy. I ate 2 of those and became incredibly sick. It wasn’t an allergic reaction as far as a health emergency, but I couldn’t focus, I couldn’t walk, I felt nauseous yet not nauseous at the same time, and a bunch of other really wild symptoms.
  Then I googled it and it turns out my body is fine with breakfast, just not with eggs and I learned this at 30 lol. It’s weird though, I’m fine with anything that doesn’t have eggs as a majority ingredient. It’s just stuff like breakfast burritos or other foods where eggs are easily 50% of what I’m eating. >
  
  Nah, he’s truly allergic. Fed him a scrambled egg at 9mos and he turned into one big hive. Most kids grow out of it by 6 or 7, so we have an annual check in at the allergist. Our last check in December, he reacted less to the test than the first time, but still in the allergic range. Fingers crossed, if the reaction shrinks the same amount next year, he’ll be able to start trying things with eggs in them.
  ETA: he can eat things with eggs baked into them like cakes and such, as long as they’re baked at 350+ for 15 minutes or more, which kills the protein he’s allergic to. (Allergist also advised store bought foods where eggs are at least the 3rd ingredient from the top should also be okay). The allergists actually encourage him to eat those things, to help his body adjust to the protein. >
  
  Oh God, that’s terrifying. Hopefully he is able to.
  For me it’s just slightly above a mild inconvenience because of how healthy they are (and are also a huge staple of breakfast).
  So what about something that is cooked but also uses eggs? I barely cook at all so I honestly can’t think of an example other than cookies lol. But is he able to eat something as long as the proportion of egg to everything else in the recipe is pretty low? Or are recipes with eggs in them a straight up no? >
  
  It depends on how things are cooked. Boiling doesn’t get hot enough, and frying doesn’t cook long enough to kill the protein, so baked is the safe option. Typically, we buy things like muffins, cakes, breads, and cookies with eggs in them rather than make them ourselves, because I’m anxious about having eggs in the house (he’s two, so doesn’t understand his allergy fully yet, and very curious/helpful. I’d hate to have him accidentally exposed because he went to throw something in the trashcan and touched an egg).
  Allergist advised that even egg-washed things are okay, as long as they meet the baking requirement.
  I’m probably a bit overcautious, but I look at it this way: if I’m right, we get to enjoy a meal with some eggs in it. If I’m wrong, we spend the night in the ER, best case. >

  That is fucked up. We unnecessarily eat too much meat. >
  
  3 pairs of wings isn’t much for one person >
  
  ??? How much amount of time per 3 wings?
  We eat too much meat every single day. >
  
  Wtf does the amount of time have to do with anything? >
  
  ? It is not the same eating 3 chicken wings each week than to eat 3 chicken wings each day. >
  
  Do you even know what you’re even saying right now? Since when was the Super Bowl hosted every Sunday or every day? Did you even read the original comment you were responding to? >
  
  Yes, I do. Do you? It is an absurd and unnecessary quantity of meat.
  Edit: Also downvotes for you too, I don't know what's up with your attitude. Did you feel personally attacked? >
  
  I donno about yall but Im just here for the question marks.

  I was told it’s not going to “go back to normal” until mid to late February is what my company is projecting. They’re selling faster than I’m putting them out in most cases. I had to stop what I was doing 3 times on Sunday alone to do rounds of filling what we had in backstock. My guess is by late afternoon or evening on Monday we’ll be sold out completely until our load comes in on Tuesday. >
  
  Spoilers: it won't go back to normal in February. 
  Well maybe the flu killing these chickens will die down and the supply will work its way back to normal, but the prices won't. >

  Consider going vegan. Be kind to animals and your wallet

  How are beans and rice more expensive than eggs? There’s even a sun here for cheap vegan >
  
  You'd probs die from malnutrition if you just ate beans and rice regularly. >
  
  Isn't beans and rice one of the things you can eat endlessly and get all nutrition? Like potatoes >
  
  Beans and rice are frequently mentioned as two foods that together create a so-called complete amino acid (protein) profile. There are other plant foods that are considered high quality protein sources, like oats and quinoa.
  But yes, eating beans in particular is associated with advantageous health outcomes. >
  
  We need a more biodiverse choice of eggs, like many different breeds of chicken, ducks and geese etc. That way you'll have breeds that are much more resistant to diseases. >

  I dunno. My Barred Rock definitely has some vulture in her background. >
  
  くそ I live off eggs because they are cheap in Japan. I’ve already noticed an increase in price over the last year. This sucks glad I only have to feed myself. >

  0,7 USD for 10 pcs >
  
  There becomes a point at which you say ‘I just won’t have egg today’ >
  
  I saw an idiot conservative on Twitter blaming Biden for soaring egg prices, suggesting it was his fault for 10K chickens being slaughtered, and the same guy then went on to suggest that Biden was also responsible for the forumula shortage for shutting down that factory.
  It's like, what the fuck did you want him to do? Keep a factory making TAINTED BABY FOOD OPEN, so it could be served to infants? And NOT kill the chickens who are going to infect all the rest of them? They're going to die off regardless. This is how you control the spread of disease. >
  
  I eat like 10 eggs a year. Maybe. I guess doing 0 is an option. Fuck this jacking up of prices that never ever come down. Meanwhile paychecks remain the same and they sprinkle that worthless % on top for muh inflation. >
  
  ... do you eat pasta, or anything containing eggs?
  This is going to affect people who don't even eat eggs >
  
  You can get pasta with egg but the spaghetti, elbow, pennne, etc that I'd wager most people eat doesn't contain egg. It's just flour and water.
  Only time I get pasta with egg is when I make chicken noodle soup. The noodles don't get mushy. >
  
  They'll jack up prices of everything for any unrelated reason. >
  
  Well I guess there's nothing left to say. Everything is or will be awful for vague reasons that nobody can help. >
  
  Eggs are the distraction while they raise prices on everything else. >
  
  Damn, that sucks. I love cooking eggs >
  
  I’ve been reading that people with there own little backyard hens aren’t laying eggs or barely any. Apparently chicken feed has changed and has more filler and less nutrition.  
  In my opinion, this feels like the average person getting screwed out of backyard farming. How it’ll be impossible to get your own eggs and you’ll have to resort to store bought.
  I hope I’m wrong >
  
  Chicken keeper here. My hens are all over four years old and still laying even in winter. Feed has definitely gotten more expensive. Used to be able to get a fifty pound bag for 8 bucks. Now its around 19.99 and who knows what kind of cheap filler is in it.
  I think the only reason mine are still clonking out the eggs is because my girls free range and get grass, clover, and bugs along with their pellets and also lots of human food leftovers. Hens relying solely on pellets are probably suffering right now. ;-;
  (And for the animal lovers here…the hens are treasured pets as well as breakfast poopers and get to live till natural death takes them even if they don’t lay eggs. I did get one rooster in my batch and he is currently living still as a guardian for a friends group of silkie chickens) >
  
  I hope the roosters are doing all right too <3 >
  
  He is! He is on a farm where he is the protector of a bunch of fluffy silky hens. (They are small, floofy, and dumb as bricks…his job is to watch out for them and be a good guardian for them from predators…roosters have a great use in rural areas!) He has already scared off a small dog attacking his silkie gal pals! >
  
  Wow, so only one rooster was hatched? How many hens do you have? >
  
  Eat some lentils >
  
  Eggs are tastier ... >
  
  You need a better lentil recipe. I wouldn't say one is better than the other. >
  
  I would. Eggs shit on lentils.
  But that doesn't mean they're worth the cost.
  
  You need a better lentil recipe.
  
  I can pretty much guarantee no lentil recipe will make them taste better than eggs, especially if I can use any egg recipe. Try not to be so patronizing with statements like this. >

  In Japan? Do you guys even read titles anymore or say the same meme over and over in every thread looking for internet points? >
  
  My god did I trigger you or something? It was a joke. JFC. >
  
  And let me just explain to you why I said it. Not an hour before I saw this story in my little local Facebook I got reamed for arguing with someone blaming the price of eggs on Joe Biden Socialism. that's what he called it. Joe Biden Socialism. Now, considering the egg shortage is global, NO it would not surprise me if some of these very fine people would blame Joe Biden for a freedom hating chicken cull in Japan.
  If you aren't living with this mentality every day maybe you don't get it. When I say I got reamed, I mean I got spammed with the most moronic memes with everything from Joe Biden 'groping a child' to his son's blurry porn shots between posts just calling me silly political slurs. All I did was post a link talking about the bird flu and another about how bad the transportation system is doing since people realized they could order everything and just stay home. . . you know, so they might understand WHY egg prices are especially high. I wasn't trying to be mean I just hoped maybe they'd put two and two together and freakin LEARN something but no, instead I get called names and treated like I'm the moron...  kinda like you did!
  Maybe you don't see them blaming him for everything from bad weather to the price of gas or maybe you're just like them and you truly believe the climate isn't a problem and capitalism would do better without all these goshdarn regulations.

  Laughing in vegan. >
  
  You won’t be laughing when all your vegan egg alternatives are sold out at the grocery store to people who will try one bite and dump it out because its “gross” >
  
  Do you... really think you have a point when you make comments like these?
  I'm genuinely curious. >
  
  I thought it was clearly a joke but I guess it wasn’t that clear. >
  
  This is when I’m grateful that eggs don’t agree with me. Aw, damn you mean I can’t afford to buy them? Oh well.
  Also for folks like me who legit can’t digest meat or eggs, there are so many delicious vegan and vegetarian options now for protein I’m not even worried about it.
  So yeah folks find alternatives to eggs right now cause those prices will only continue to climb. >
  
  These prices are not…..eggceptional >
  
  Eggs are the only filling and quick-to-make protein for my groggy, zombie ass in the morning before work… >
  
  Then you, my good sir, need to use the wonderful internet to find other good sources of  protein. They really aren’t the only option. >
  
  Everyone’s cholesterol is about to drop. Might not be a bad thing. I don’t know how you measure this but if millions of eggs aren’t being consumed, it probably has a net positive effect on better health of the population. I like eggs, but I’m under no illusion that they are not good for you. >
  
  There’s a shit ton of cholesterol in the yolk that isn’t your friend. So frankly they’re worse for men. My buddy is a cardiologist and told me the same thing. The whites aren’t nearly as bad for you. 
  I still eat too much of them but whatever.
