The drop in production has created supply shortages, price rises and a political case.
In a recent letter addressed to Trump, Democratic Senator Elisabeth Warren wrote :

- Instead of working to lower their grocery bills however, you have used the first week of your administration on attempting to end birthright citizenship, pardoning individuals who attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, and renaming a mountain.

P.s.: egg prices in the US were already 60 per cent higher than in 2019.
Eggs are in short supply (egg shortage) and US restaurants now charge a temporary surcharge (temporary surcharge, The Wall Street Journal of 6 February 2025).
In yellow a restaurant charging 50 cents per egg.
Walmart has decided not to increase them but in some chains, such as Safeway (below), the 12-pack of eggs now costs $9.
Far beyond what the official statistics record!
And in fact someone finally says that: “politics [in general, in the US and the EU] should askthemselves more forcefully some questions about the meaning of intensive production – especially agricultural production”, also because, for example, in the US eggs are an everyday food, much cheaper than meat, and the spread of bird flu risks continuing to fuel inflation, also because the US will be forced to import them from Turkey.
The only thing that makes one smile is that, as in Russia with butter, egg thefts have started in the US.
On the quality of food in Europe read: EU, One Health Report 2023. Listeriosis, salmonellosis and other zoonoses on the rise.
