I've discovered something about myself, which is that I don't know how to function without eggs.

Yeah, I eat eggs every day almost.

I'm not to, you know, look, I know, I know eggs have been a topic of discourse for the last few weeks.

I'm not looking to start any political conversations here.

I'm just talking about the material realities on the ground right now.

Yeah, we were thrilled to get eggs last week. realities on the ground right now. Yeah.

We were thrilled to get eggs last week.

Did you find some?

Yeah.

Amazon had them when Gene ordered groceries, like just surprisingly.

I mean, we're seeing eggs around now, but A, they're very expensive, which like, okay, you know, look, we could afford it. But $10 plus per dozen, it's a little

hard to swallow. I mean, for not, and just to be clear, they're not fancy eggs where like they

write the name of the chicken on the, on the box. They're like, these are like bog standard just

in styrofoam packaging eggs. Those are the bargain basement eggs at the local bulk store that I'm talking about. But the other thing is like, I mean, I don't know exactly what the mechanisms are for the bird flu spread to humans. But I don't know if you're taking a risk by eating eggs right now or not. I don't know what the like detection mechanisms are for making sure we are getting eggs from healthy hens. So we had this conversation prior to January 20th in our house.

And I did some quick research on the federal government's websites about avoiding getting H5N1 from food.

And the thing about eggs is because it spread so quickly in birds,

they call the flocks immediately

as soon as something tests positive.

And they were confident at that time that a trivene one was not going to get into the egg

supply because of the speed at which the disease kills the birds.

Yeah, that sounds like there's still a chance.

Also, if you cook stuff to 160 degrees, it's fine.
