    Dry goods are still reliable, but the issue at hand is that a dozen eggs are now 8-9 dollars, and that rise was pretty fast.

    People relying on eggs for survival and not part as a diversified diet need to switch to other sources right now which they might not have available. You wonā€™t survive on rice only. Beans should definitely be added to your diet for their health benefits and as a way to be less insecure with food. However, eggs were also playing that part and now itā€™s not reliable anymore.

    In a vacuum, it isnā€™t that big of a deal, but in reality, already strained people are even more strained right now and the egg prices exploding is just another kick in the guts.
