100,000 eggs stolen from one US grocer as bird flu drives up prices
[BBC] Thieves in the US state of Pennsylvania have stolen more than 100,000 eggs - worth $40,000 (£32,000) - from a single grocer.
That’s an awful lot of eggs for a single grocery store. But they’re actually a commercial egg producer with pretensions — see link below — suggesting they’re still acting on the funding from USAID to provide anti-America reportage. It is still a lot of eggs stolen, though one wonders if even most of them survived the experience, but the elided information moves the report toward propaganda, given that the bird flu epidemic occurred during the past two years of Joe Biden’s term.
The heist targeted the back of a lorry at Pete & Gerry's Organics in Greencastle on 1 February, police say.

It comes as the price of eggs has risen amid a bird flu epidemic, making them an unexpectedly costly menu option. The national chain Waffle House has just hiked their egg charge.

Prices for eggs have surged more than 65% in the last year, US government data shows. The agriculture department predicted the cost will increase by about 20% in 2025.

From Pete & Gerry’s career page on the company website: Pete & Gerry’s (parent company to Nellie’s Free Range) was the first B Corp Certified egg producer in the country.
