Hasn’t affected my life one bit. It people weren’t mentioning egg prices on Lemmy, I would have had no idea that there was a shortage.
Never understood everyone’s obsession with eggs. There are so many other sources of protein out there. You don’t need to perpetually have them in your fridge.
Because normally eggs are very cheap, very easy, and very healthy. When you’re broke and living off pasta, beans, and rice, eggs are something you make that you feel good about feeding yourself and your family. Anybody can make good scrambled eggs, and those two eggs in the morning can get you through until you get back home after work.
I can’t explain everyone’s obsession, but mine is easy to explain:
I want to feed my baby two eggs most days of the week. They’re clean, she enjoys them plain, they’re easy for her to chew, they’re very quick, and there’s no question on whether they cooked long enough. I hate the taste of eggs but I ate them non-stop through my pregnancy and now as I breast feed. You can’t beat them for efficiency. Some days those two eggs are all I eat until dinner time.
They’re also crazy versatile! Scrambled, eggs-in-a-basket, hard boiled, French toast, over easy, runny on toast with a tomato slice, egg salad.

People don’t need them, they like them.
