It started years ago. Years. Plural.

There's been media coverage going back quite a while.

Egg prices are actually LOWER now, with this present spike:

: Before February 2022, the average cost of a dozen had largely stayed
: below $2 since March 2016.

The story also blames bird flu but the facts to not align with the
narrative. For one thing, chickens just plain don't remain productive
egg layers for that long! Two years is about the best you're ever
going to get out of them. So anything that had been exposed to bird flu
in 2022 is dead. It's gone.

The one egg farmer I knew had them laying for about two years when
they were done he took a paused. It was time for cleanup, prepare for
the next batch...

, but they do not note that

It's probably just bullshit, like the fake chip shortage. Higher food
prices are a goal. In Europe they're forcing farms to close and telling
them they shouldn't eat more than 10 grams of meat per day.

Here? Packing plants have closed, super market shelves have gotten thin,
it's now not the least bit unusual to see empty shelves.
