Op-Ed: Why does California have an egg shortage?
LA TimesThe egg selection at Grocery Outlet in Redondo Beach on Jan. 5. The average retail price for a dozen large eggs jumped to $7.37 in California last week, up from just $2.35 at this time last year. But if we can weather the bird flu outbreak and increase production of cage-free eggs, then we can return to a status quo in which eggs and other animal products are plentiful. In typical cases, we breed farmed animals to produce as much meat, as much milk or as many eggs as possible, which can cause a variety of health problems for the animals. The California egg shortage is a reminder that as long as animal farming remains at the center of our food system, that system will remain at the center of our global welfare, health and climate problems.
