Eggs are not the only food that's costing more.

If it's not one thing, it's another.

Now with the price of eggs coming down, well, look at the price of beef.

41%. This latest supply shortage isn't caused by an illness. Rather, cattle ranchers blame the high cost

and so that means the beef that we buy at the grocery store is ultimately going to be more expensive.

Consumers are not pushing back,

spending a record $160 billion on beef products last year,

even as prices hit $8 per pound.

That relief could be a ways off for both consumers and ranchers

And we have terrain. This is an analyst company, and they put this in a graph form so you can see what we're
