100,000 Eggs Stolen As Pennsylvania Police Try To Crack Case

https://www.zerohedge.com/comm...olice-try-crack-case

Pennsylvania State Police are investigating an egg heist in Greencastle, about 65 miles southwest of Harrisburg, over the weekend. The very thought of such a crime may seem unimaginable, but with wholesale egg prices reaching record highs, the thieves appear to have been paying close attention to recent developments surrounding the worsening nationwide egg shortage.

Local media outlet WHP-TV reported approximately 100,000 organic eggs (worth > $40,000) were stolen from the back of Pete & Gerry's Organics' distribution trailer on Saturday night in Greencastle.

The egg heist comes as the latest wholesale data from Urner Barry shows whole egg prices hit a new record on Monday amid an ongoing and devastating avian influenza outbreak straining the nation's egg-producing hen capacity.

Monday's print of the Urner Barry Egg Index EBP shows prices jumped to $6.44 per dozen, a new record high and more than $1 above from two weeks ago when we informed readers about the "blue-sky breakout" in wholesale prices.

'Eggflation' doesn't stop at the grocery store. US restaurants are also being impacted: Waffle House has added a 50 cent per egg surcharge across all menus. The causal diner chain wrote in a press release:

"The continuing egg shortage caused by HPAI (bird flu) has caused a dramatic increase in egg prices. Customers and restaurants are being forced to make difficult decisions."

So walking through the store today...$10 a dozen. I just started selling for $8 a dozen.
We may have to rethink our price. We're not GMO free feed, but it is all local sourced and high quality.

If everybody started eating oat meal, the eggs would set on the shelf and go bad. Wink

If nobody talked about racism eggs, the "problem" would drop overnight.

It is strange that this "bird flu" only seems to be affecting the US...

Almost as strange as how the Flu disappeared during the Covid plandemic.

Because it's bullbirdshit.

The number of people actually affected is nearly zero in the scheme of 8 billion people.

The flue virus mutates, fact.
No matter what we do, we will never be able to avoid a strain of flu that is gonne "get us", one day, there will be another "Spanish Flu" strain and it will kill a bunch of people.

But doing the "Covid Dick Dance" everytime a mouse sneezes, is going to ALWAYS result in mankind doing greater harm and long term negative consequences for all of humanity over time, than any short term benefit that is wrongly imagined.

Look at covid today, vs the BS that we endured 5 years ago.

Now we are getting the real facts that between the "lies" that many of the "covid deaths" were either not from covid, or were actually a result of the wrong procedures used in the hospitalizations, as well as the "shaming/preventing" practices and medicines (ivermectin protocols) being employed, and all the "social" policies and programs forced upon mankind, should be all we need to not do this again.

Yet here we are.

The meat and eggs will not kill us.

Follow the same guidelines to prevent illness from salmonella and E.coli, will serve as well as bird flu.


And, no, I am not a Doctor, Biologist, epidemiologist or any other lettered addendum name.

I'm just not a lemming.
