Excellent example of how the U.S. population as a rule is too dumb fat and happy to notice. They embrace and regurgitate what they’re fed.
They don’t want you to eat protein. They want you to eat bugs and veggies
Yes, it is. There's an easy fix: arbitrage. That is buying eggs from where prices are cheaper. Big business does this with wages, consumers can do this with products as well. We just need to buy our eggs from Mexico.
GROK agrees. Here is the output. TLDR; America is getting fucked. Everyone else has seen nearly nothing in change.
>Below is a summary of the approximate cost of a dozen (12) eggs as of February 22, 2025, for each North American country, South American country, and European Union (EU) member state. Prices are based on the latest available data, trends, and user-reported information from sources like X posts, adjusted for current economic conditions and factors like inflation, avian flu impacts, and local production costs. All prices are approximate averages in USD unless otherwise noted, reflecting retail costs for standard large eggs (typically Grade A or equivalent). Local variations, organic/free-range premiums, and currency fluctuations may affect exact prices. North American Countries United States: $5.50–$6.00 (wide regional variation, e.g., $9+ in Hawaii, $4–$5 in Midwest). Canada: $2.55 (approx. $3.47 CAD), stable but slightly rising. Mexico: $2.20–$2.30 (approx. 40–45 MXN), lowest in North America. South American Countries Prices in South America are less volatile than in North America, with fewer avian flu reports, but data is patchier. Estimates are derived from historical averages, recent X posts, and inflation adjustments. Argentina: $2.00–$2.20 (high inflation impacts; historically ~$1.50, adjusted up). Bolivia: $1.80–$2.00 (stable, low-cost production). Brazil: $2.10–$2.30 (major producer, ~2.97 USD in 2023, adjusted down slightly for market stabilization). Chile: $2.80–$3.00 (higher due to import reliance and urban demand). Colombia: $2.30–$2.50 (consistent supply, moderate inflation). Ecuador: $1.90–$2.10 (affordable, local production strong). Guyana: $2.40–$2.60 (small market, some import reliance). Paraguay: $1.70–$1.90 (high consumption, low-cost local supply). Peru: $2.00–$2.20 (stable, ~$1.91 in 2023, slight increase). Suriname: $2.50–$2.70 (limited data, import-driven). Uruguay: $2.60–$2.80 (higher living costs, stable production). Venezuela: $3.00–$3.50 (hyperinflation distorts; unofficial reports higher, but official data scarce). European Union Member States EU egg prices have risen due to energy costs, avian flu, and 2022–2023 inflation (e.g., 30% increase Jan 2022–Jan 2023 per Eurostat). Below are estimates based on EU data, national reports, and X posts, converted to USD (1 EUR ≈ $1.05 as of Feb 2025). Austria: $3.80–$4.00 (moderate 19% rise in 2023, stable since). Belgium: $3.50–$3.70 (strong production, energy costs up). Bulgaria: $2.60–$2.80 (lower wages, cheaper locally). Croatia: $3.00–$3.20 (rising but below EU average). Cyprus: $3.90–$4.10 (island import costs). Czechia: $3.70–$3.90 (sharp 85% rise in 2023, now easing). Denmark: $4.20–$4.40 (high welfare standards, costly production). Estonia: $3.20–$3.40 (Baltic average, moderate rise). Finland: $4.00–$4.20 (Nordic pricing, stable supply). France: $4.10–$4.30 (major producer, flu-hit in 2024). Germany: $3.60–$3.80 (18% rise in 2023, now steady). Greece: $3.40–$3.60 (local supply, tourism demand). Hungary: $3.50–$3.70 (80% rise in 2023, moderating). Ireland: $4.00–$4.20 (import reliance, high costs). Italy: $3.80–$4.00 (southern production strong, north pricier). Latvia: $3.10–$3.30 (lower cost of living). Lithuania: $3.00–$3.20 (similar to Baltic peers). Luxembourg: $4.30–$4.50 (high income, 18% rise in 2023). Malta: $3.90–$4.10 (small market, import-driven). Netherlands: $3.70–$3.90 (egg export hub, stable prices). Poland: $3.20–$3.40 (major producer, competitive pricing). Portugal: $3.30–$3.50 (moderate costs, local supply). Romania: $2.90–$3.10 (cheaper, rural production). Slovakia: $3.60–$3.80 (79% rise in 2023, now leveling). Slovenia: $3.40–$3.60 (small market, steady). Spain: $3.50–$3.70 (big producer, resilient supply). Sweden: $4.10–$4.30 (high standards, costly inputs). Notes North America sees the U.S. hit hardest by avian flu, driving prices up significantly. South America generally has lower prices due to less industrialized disruption and cheaper labor/production. EU prices reflect a mix of production strength (e.g., Netherlands, Poland) and high-cost regions (e.g., Nordics, Luxembourg), with 2023’s sharp increases now stabilizing in most places. Exact prices vary by store, region, and egg type (e.g., organic eggs often cost 50–100% more). If you’d like deeper details on any specific country, let me know!
