After a week of depriving myself of eggs, I finally broke down and bought a dozen at $1.66. To combat the over pricing I am consuming one half of what I used to. I have been watching the price fluctuate wildly, but to go up by almost 100% is purely gluttonous. I think we all should eat cardboard for fiber and take vitamins for our nutrition. The ever rising prices of vegetables, fruits, dairy products, and now the egg have driven me to much smaller portions of everything. I realize that fuel prices have skyrocketed, and mainly because we are so dependent on foreign oil, and now I have heard the price of corn has doubled (ethanol produced from corn is another losing venture), and any other whisper or scheme that gives the poultry farms an excuse to raise the price of eggs are all reasons, but by nearly 100%? Give me a break! I quit buying eggs when I first saw that the prices almost doubled overnight. After a week of depriving myself of eggs, I finally broke down and bought a dozen at $1.66.

Over on the other side of the S.F. Bay I pay $4 to $5 per dozen. And seeing how well the chickens live at my main source (http://sourdoughmonkeywrangler.blogspot.com/2007/06/why-did-chicken-cross-road.html) compared to the horrors of battery production, I'm glad to pay every penny of it. "no one flinches when paying $1.50 or more for bottled water" -- and few flinch when paying $3 or $4 at Starbucks.

I guess eating local (eggs, anyway) really is for the elite in SF. Then again, did you see the Ethicurean item about keeping your own hens in the Bay Area? Find it at http://www.ethicurean.com/2007/09/22/chicken-parking/. Yipes. I guess eating local (eggs, anyway) really is for the elite in SF.
