      1. Something’s up with the texture on Chad EU’s face. His vest is also weird, can’t see where it splits at the very top, and it has a weird silver stripe in only one small area.
      2. The old lady’s eye on the right is weird, almost like it’s missing and there’s just an empty spot there, but it’s not quite like that either.
      3. There’s a lady in the back holding a kid in the back, she has him in a choke?
      4. Same lady, her nose is weird, like the perspective got fucked up there.
      5. The eggs are weird too. There’s two stacks, one is a 28 count, and the other is a 21 count? But it looks like two rows got like blended together in a weird way, like if you look at some of the eggs they look like two blended together, like it started doing another row and then gave up.

      We do have H5N1 here, just like everyone else it’s out there with wild birds and those fly all over the place, it’s been a thing for two decades. Difference being we have regulations and also industrial structure (not as large companies/flocks) which means even if a flock gets infected it’s a much more limited loss.

      And of course the completely different hygiene standards: Eggs in the EU must be sold unwashed, which means that companies actually have to keep the barns clean. It’s similar with chicken meat: It’s not like chlorinating chicken would be a health danger to humans, it’s that the hygiene conditions that would make chlorinating necessary, seen from the other side that chlorinating enables, are absolutely unconscionable. That’s why chlorinating is outlawed in the EU.

      In another line of thought, though, we should have another class of eggs: Organic barn. The usual better feed, more space etc. but keep them inside, it’s not like chickens mind being inside. Vaccinating them sadly isn’t an option at this point, like it is with salmonella.

      No they are a symptom of a deregulated industry that can raise prices by 100% even though their costs have only gone up 2%, as long as a convenient excuse is pushed by the industry-aligned media.

      Then, when the chicken plague is over, they lower the prices a tiny bit, to about 80% more than before, Trump declares victory, and the rich have become richer again.

      EU has sustainable practices, robust regulations, and way less idiots in power. There is a lot of idiots, but the way regulation works, it’s harder for them to fuckup. Not impossible, but harder.
      Good chances that chicken plague is already here, but is dealt with appropriately and doesn’t have this devastating results.
      Also, no measles.

        What’s crazy about this line is how frequently Zelenskyy has done the “America A#1, you’re the best!” media tour in the run up to this meeting. How many clammy-handed, rictus grin photo-ops does this guy have to do for you people? How many trips does he need to make to DC to say “Hello from Ukraine, I love you!” to Congress? Dude’s entire career as President has just been going abroad and brown-nosing for NATO support.

        This reminds me of the British journalists who will cut an Arab liberal off in the middle of an “I am here to condemn Hamas and ask for release on behalf of the Palestinian people” automated response to grill them on why they haven’t condemned Hamas. It’s all just bullying at an international scale. I’m amazed Trump didn’t drag Zelenskyy into the restroom and try to give the man a swirly.

    I get that the price of eggs is shorthand for the price of all food, which has gone up, but eggs specifically have gotten so expensive that egg substitute is about the same price at this point.

        That’s dumb. 2.50 is not a sustainable price. If you get local eggs from a humane farm, they are going to be expensive. It’s just how it is man. If anything, that should cause you using them wiser.

        Ignore the legumes suggestion, it’s nasty af and makes most people’s stomachs bloated and inflammed (which gives gas and is the reason there are so many jokes on legumes giving people gas). Eat fish, nuts, artisanal cheeses (very low lactose compared to other cheeses) or even just homemade jerky. Good for the brain and no bloating unless you have some diagnosed gut diseases.

        For those who can’t be bothered to read my replies, proof of legumes irritating the stomach of many people, causing bloating, causing gas and even pain:

        https://health.clevelandclinic.org/why-do-beans-make-you-fart

        Stay educated. You don’t HAVE to eat legumes, you can get fiber and essential nutrients in many other foods which is why I recommended other healthy foods, which don’t cause physical discomfort or pain.

          A - not everyone has issues with legumes, don’t project your personal issues on everyone. B - just take a beano pill beforehand if you do have issues.

            Mystery meat? Are you ignorant? You can make jerky at home with fresh meat yourself, that’s why I said homemade jerky. Gotta love vegans downvoting this out of ignorance. Artisanal cheeses are very good for you too and fish is great omega 3s. Legumes irritate many people’s stomachs. Way to dismiss the reality of eating legumes.

          You never eat vegetables, do you? Much of the world lives off legumes. Having these issues with their digestion is caused by a poor gut microbiome from eating an extremely low-fiber diet.

            I do eat vegetables, simply not legumes as they give me gas and bloating (and I’m not the only one it happens to, it’s so common, there’s a reason comedians joke about eating them and farting). Can we stop pretending legumes don’t cause gas and bloating? 😂 As if me pointing it out means I don’t eat veggies, gtfo here.

            "Fiber makes you bloat

            Beans are just one example of high fiber foods. When you eat a ton of fiber, you increase your chances of bloating, stomach pain and gas."

            https://health.clevelandclinic.org/why-do-beans-make-you-fart

            It’s not even hard to find this out. Btw it’s beans AND legumes in general that do this (the article mentions it and this is not the only source that says this). Happy reading.

              In my experience your body gets used to high fiber content. It’s only when you don’t eat legumes regularly that they cause issues, now that I’m eating them several times a day there’s no bloating.

        Legumes like beans, lentils, peas, hummus, chickpeas,

        Oats, quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat, whole wheat products,

        Tofu in its various forms, including silk tofu as egg replacement in pancakes,

        Other “meat substitutes” like seitan or sunflower seed mince,

        Nuts, nut butters, nut flour,

        Dairy products such as cottage cheese, joghurt,

        Soy milk

        I mean for real, eggs are super unnecessary for a protein rich or healthy diet. I would argue that unless you literally want to treat yourself with a sunny side up or an omelette you shouldn’t be using eggs at all. I like eggs, but a dozen lasts us (family of 3) a month easily.

        Proteins are formed from amino acids and it is actually harder for you to assimilate when ingested as already assembled animal proteins as it needs to be broken down and rebuilt by your body. You can get all the aminos you need from vegetable sources such as potatoes, nuts, legumes, leafy greens etc.

      Yes. We usually rather give people money to buy food locally than ship sacks of rice across the world. With the US simply having no eggs of their own, though, that’s of course not an option.

      Occasionally, we ship some to Ireland to cause a political ruckus there. Sadly couldn’t find any pictures of the famed EU cheese, but have some rice.

        Here in the Midwest we generally have our family egg for lunch on Sunday. Ever since Grandad passed we’ve been able to make thicker slices, but Sissy’s little one is getting to the age that we’re going to have to go back to thinner slices soon. We’re just fortunate that we’re able to get our weekly egg, so we’re not complaining.
