Are your egg prices going through the roof? Are you listening to mainstream media blaming it on bird flu? Then you need to read Amanda Starbuck and her co-author’s recent Food and Water Watch article “Egg Prices: It’s Not Just Bird Flu. It’s Corporate Greed” where their investigation determined that the primary cause for “egg-flation” isn’t disease, but the big egg producers, such as Cal-Maine Foods, with the top ten producers cornering 50% of the market raising prices to line their pockets, and those of their shareholders, with your money. In a two year period, before the latest bird flu, their prices almost tripled. And they can give their big distributers, like Walmart, discounts while charging other buyers more to make up for what they lose in deals with Walmart.
