The Egg and Political Control

Boy with a Basket, Giacomo Ceruti; 1745
“[W]HAT happens when this nutritional lifeline is severed? What happens when the poorest among us—those who rely on eggs as a cheap, accessible source of sustenance—are suddenly priced out of the market? The answer is as stark as it is devastating: malnutrition, weakened immune systems, and a deepening cycle of poverty, wherein these people turn to processed unhealthy foods.
“The poorest populations are always the hardest hit by food shortages and price hikes. For families living on the edge of survival, eggs are often the difference between a meal and hunger, between health and illness. When the price of eggs triples or quadruples overnight, these families are forced to make impossible choices. Do they spend their limited income on eggs, or do they sacrifice nutrition to pay for rent, medicine, or school fees? The result is a reduction in access to essential nutrients, leading to a cascade of health problems that disproportionately affect children, the elderly, and the vulnerable. To replace eggs, one may turn to other sources of food, such as meat. Yet, meat, while beneficial on its own terms, cannot replace the egg.
“By disrupting the availability of eggs, those in power are not just raising prices—they are eroding the health and resilience of the poorest populations. This is not an accident; it is a calculated move. When you control the food supply, you control the people. And when you remove access to affordable, nutrient-dense foods like eggs, you create a population that is weaker, more dependent, and easier to manipulate. With this in mind, it become readily apparent: the supposed plan of RFK Jr. to make raw milk legally available is a pipe dream that will NEVER happen in the USA. Are you kidding me?”
