eggs are also just generally really good nutrition, they are specifically meant to fuel the growth of the chick after all

Yeah, they were the best value for money for a long time. Within my recent memory (last ten years or so), if I’m recalling correctly, they were a dollar or less per dozen in my region of the US. You couldn’t beat them for nutritional ROI.
The thing about their price increases though is that up until relatively recently, I’ve read somewhere that bird flu was an excuse rather than an actual factor. I could be wrong on that, but I distinctly remember hearing it being tied to greed rather than an actual supply issue.
