The current average price for a carton of eggs is nearly $5 per dozen

Summary

Egg prices are projected to rise by 41% in 2025, according to the USDA, following an already steep increase due to a severe bird flu outbreak that reduced egg-laying hen populations.

The current average price per dozen is nearly $5, with some areas seeing prices as high as $10. Restaurants like Waffle House and Denny's have added surcharges.

Meanwhile, the USDA mistakenly fired key bird flu response workers, sparking criticism.

Trump stated his administration will take action but has offered no specifics.

Tofu scramble is pretty good. Firm or extra firm tofu block, slice and crumble into a bowl. 1 tbsp turmeric, 1 tbsp black pepper, 1 tbsp garlic powder, mix. Cook in a pan on medium stirring occasionally, will turn yellow as it heats up. Then add key ingredient black salt (kala namak, a salt with a strong sulfur flavor) to taste. Mix in with your pan fry mix of choice, I like onion/garlic/serrano/mushroom/smoked paprika/chili powder/spinach/tomato and green pepper/cilantro added at the end. Serve with fruit and toast.
- Yeah, I am not vegan, but a tofu scramble is vastly preferable to scrambled eggs. So much tastier. Although on could argue you could add all those ingredients to scrambled eggs and it is pretty good too.
  Don't forget a light dust of brewers yeast and a couple of shakes of tobacco or whatever your favorite vinegar based hot sauce is.
- Deep fried tofu with peanut sauce is like crack.

  Oh, I KNOW!
  
  Oh man, if you like that, you'll really love fried chicken.
  
  Oddly enough I think the fried tofu is tastier. The chicken in fried chicken is pretty bland, and the fried tofu has a more consistent texture.
  
  There is a local chicken chain that is also like crack:
