Your ignorance was already zipped down and on display but now you really took your pants off.
Egg prices have risen globally. America doesn’t have a monopoly on this problem.
Egg prices have risen globally because of bird flu not demand increases.
The demand has stayed the same, the supply has dropped.
I'm not seeing news about people in India renting chickens just to be able to get their egg fix.

Is this comment where i appear to have expressed ignorance about the existence of basic economic principles in the room with us right now?
Your “solutions” to stop buying eggs in favor of lentils shows an inability to perceive reality outside of your own subjective comfort bubble. But for an American i guess thats not all that atypical.
Nah I just see someone who keeps moving goalposts. First what's a good protein/price ratio, you don't like that answer, then it's "it's not just about Ameirca" in an article specifically about America, and then "but I know how economics works!" despite demand actually dropping in some other countries (in particular a country that is highly vegetarian). Now it's about eggs being a comfort food or something.
Legumes where a technically correct answer as i admitted but it shows a greater non understanding of poverty which was my initial point.
It was never about America to me. It was about eggs being a very important food item for poor people. While you where saying to just stop relying on them.
Its was never about the economy or why the price is as what it is. It was about eggs and poverty.
last comment is a conclusion i made that people with your world view must have a comfortable life or else you would understand what others go trough.
Are we done? Were clearly not going to agree on this. I dont mind that, this is context for other people also.
Also, just for context you're literally lecturing a cancer patient (chronic myeloid leukemia) in poverty in the USA who may die because of medicaid cuts for meds that cost $18k a month without insurance. You can check my post history, I've mentioned it many times before. (I have literally flipped out at able bodied idiots who tell me to Luigi myself for them.)
I, for one, have done fine budget-wise without eggs and I eat all those things I mentioned because they are affordable with the protein I need to help manage my disease.
But keep telling me I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to poverty.
Ok first, I am truly sorry for your personal struggle.
But you can’t fault me for not researching your character.
What i am left with, is that I plainly don’t understand your perspective. You have been doing fine budget wise without eggs and appear to conclude that everyone can do the same.
To me that makes no sense. What applies to me (i am also disabled) does not apply to others.
All I am saying is I know of literally zero chronic health conditions that require someone to eat eggs. It's a choice to keep eating them in the face of bird flu and increased prices.
Were gonna have to agree to disagree.
But thats all right, we left plenty of context for others to make up their own minds so such isn’t a loss.
Best of luck.
