When I do read his posts (he's on ignore so I can only read his stuff when someone quotes him in a reply), I also find myself laughing. How can someone who says he's so smart be so out of touch with the real world?

well, there's tanq for starters....since you axed....

organic, pasture raised are about $4.79/doz for me. I do see some brands at $7.00 or so, but there's always a good brand on sale so I just rotate those. Eggs and milk I go ahead and buy the certified organic without the hormones these days. But i grew up on regular, back in the day i think they was better than nows....and when you go to the Waffle Haus, or the buffet at Redrock, you gets what you gets.

cost of eggs in Anchorage AK.

Eggs $0.18 each
$2.19/doz

to sum up the last few pages:

ballgag knows eggs aren't $2,586 a dozen, he just chooses to pay that for the bougie, feel good, false sense of self-superiority.

More intellectual dishonesty, what else is new.

Also, he has more money than common sense unless he's simply trolling (which is entirely probable). Harris-Teeter eggs are +/- $2.50/dozen

My family doesn’t go to Kroger or Publix. Quality isn’t there, I’d rather go to Lidl on Carmel road. I never said my eggs were the cheapest I just said how much they he eggs I buy cost and maybe the general market going down would help there too. Talk about intellectual (that word doing ALOT of heavy lifting) dishonesty.

Oh lol I thought you were making an “ism” joke and it just turns out you don’t know what it is and how it corresponds to your (lack of a) belief system. A nice juxtaposition to your 4-D checkers moves in the Iran thread.

Definitely on brand though.

Your Lidl store literally a dozen grade A eggs for $1.86 right now, and cage free grade eggs for $2.86 a dozen/$4.29 for 18.

You've been busted. Just like how you were trying to tell us how you (incorrectly) purchased a put option yesterday.

I’ll take my fresh guinea eggs any day.

They are omnivores and don’t even have to be fed if they have free range.

Grocery store shoppers are getting conned.

He should be banned from this site, keeps getting caught lying and spreading mistruths.

Yep

Just got a 18 pack at the Tweeter for $2.79 last weekend in Kitty Hawk.

.
$.60 makes a good number of southern egg salad sandwiches or deviled eggs.

All the rest is either lying or simple virtue signaling.

Which begs the real question. Does anybody really believe that those eggs provide 3 times as much benefit to the human body as the regular eggs at $2.50?

It's largely a sales pitch, IMO. Humans thrived for years on unprocessed eggs straight from the chicken with no problems. Then they started doing whatever they do to them, and, well, humans continued to thrive on them. My nephew has chickens and hasn't bought an egg in 4 years. He swears they are noticeably better in taste, but to me, an egg is an egg is an egg; I have never noticed any difference. Could be that my pallette isn't as discerning as it once was. I probably eat, on average, 6 eggs a month.

I'm not going to criticize anyone for their eating choices. If someone wants to pay 8 bucks a dozen for free-range chicken-produced organic eggs that's their business.

It's become apparent that the left-leaning mods are running cover for him and a couple of others regardless of how impartial they insist they are.

Everyone everywhere is being conned in one form or another, typically by politicians. I'd love to see a viable third-party alternative, but there ain't no such thing. And even if one were to appear, they would quickly discover that every one of them has to go along to get along if they hope to get anything at all done. I believe that to be a universal truth regardless of party.

Our entire government and most of its citizens are corrupt beyond redemption. Most of the world is corrupt. It's likely been that way since Eve convinced Adam to partake of the forbidden fruit. And to think man gave up a whole rib for those often vile creatures without whom we couldn't live.

Beyond raising them yourself or buying them from a grocery store, I think the best third party alternative is something like a farmers market or buying them direct from a local farmer.

As far as the corruption in the poultry industry, I think it’s mostly in the pricing structure, and perhaps somewhat in the treatment if the animals themselves at times. Free range is the healthiest way though.

I don't care, either. But since they brought it up, I just can't fathom that some eggs are 3 times better than other eggs, lol.
