Trumpflation is out of control

A reminder that this ACTUALLY is bidens fault.

>One theory floating around ties egg price hikes to policies that might have affected how chickens are housed, potentially exposing them more to diseases like bird flu. Critics have speculated that shifts in organic or animal welfare standards could have played a role. For instance, the USDA under Biden finalized an Organic Livestock and Poultry Standards rule in late 2023, which set stricter requirements for organic egg producers. This included mandating outdoor access for poultry, with a maximum stocking density of 2.25 pounds of bird per square foot (roughly 2 square feet per adult hen) both indoors and outdoors. The idea was to ensure organic chickens had more space and time outside, aligning with consumer expectations for "organic" labeling.

>Could this have increased bird flu exposure? Possibly. Outdoor access does heighten the risk of contact with wild birds, which are primary carriers of avian influenza. The massive bird flu outbreak starting in 2022—coinciding with Biden's presidency—wiped out over 100 million chickens, including many egg-laying hens, as flocks were culled to stop the spread. Some argue that pushing for more outdoor exposure in organic rules might have made flocks more vulnerable, indirectly tightening egg supply and driving up prices. Egg prices jumped from $1.60 per dozen in early 2021 to $4.10 by December 2024, with a 65% spike in 2024 alone.
