Did California even get affected by high egg prices? During the worst of the bird flu, egg prices at my Bay Area supermarket were quite stable – probably because of those stricter state requirements.
“Y’all Californians pay too much for that there gas.”
Yeah, because we have stricter refinement laws so we have cleaner air. I’ve literally witnessed a significant reduction in the smog in the Sacramento valley over the course of my life because of those laws. Despite WAY more people living here than 3 decades ago.
I’m a bit further north, but I noticed that egg prices at the local health foods co-ops that source eggs from smaller farms stayed pretty consistent while prices at bigger chain stores that source from mega farms doubled for a while. I assumed the difference was due to increased animal density requiring culling for the mega farms, price gouging, or both.

It’s like gas.

I’ll pay more for cleaner air.
I’ll pay more for eggs without bird flu.
