YOU are to Blame for High Egg Prices! (FULL VERSION)

Supply and Demand. It is basic. Consumers incentivized egg-laying factories--literally putting our eggs in one basket... which is what everyone warns you not to do.

(UPDATE: Due to a mistake on my end, only part of this video was originally uploaded. This video is the full version.)

It is true that our public health community, in its on-going stupidity, is creating most of the harm right now. I touch on that in this video (skip to around 3 mins for new points) but explained it also in a previous video. On the other hand, the reason why we have mass-manufactured eggs is because we are addicted to the low egg prices as if addicted to crack.

Everything is fine until the Egg Factory goes down, which is virtually inevitable.

As with eggs, so with multiple items, from produce to widgets. It is dangerous to create a bottleneck like this when it comes to food and other essentials, however. It obviously opens up the possibility that something upstream can break.... which means there could be pain, suffering, and even death downstream. Ya know, cuz these are essentials.

We need a reversal of thought. Shop local, yes.... but buy from local producers. Yes, AND, do this for as many of your essentials as you can, diversifying your risk where appropriate. When the small farmers are incentivized as much as Big Chicken is, there will be beneficial 'knock on' effects.
