Egg prices spiking in certain areas across the U.S., A recall on Walmart produce has now hit 20 states, food recalls continue to increase for frozen pizzas, food specialties, buttered vegetables, salsa and more, and of course due to the low inventory of cattle, prices for beef are rising again, and chicken is getting more expensive.
That is just a small sampling of what is being seen across the nation, and when seen all together, is clearly indicative of something sinister, such as a manufactured, engineered, attack on the food supply of Americans.
With $8, $9 and $13 dollars for just a dozen eggs in some places, I continue to urge readers to use an egg substitute for baking, scrambled eggs, casseroles, or anything else that is not just poached or over easy.

For the record, the price of eggs is expected to see a continued rise, due to an egg shortage, blamed on the avian flu.
Fox News reports that “Prices for meat, poultry, and fish rose 1.7% in November, but prices for eggs rose 8.2%. ”
Signs are already appearing in stores across America.
Aside from eggs, there are other reports, such as fresh broccoli florets at Walmarts, in 20 states now, with the claim of possible listeria contamination. Interestingly, according to the FDA, it was a voluntary recall from the company Braga Fresh, despite and I quote “To date, no illnesses have been reported in connection with this product..”
BEEF:
On December 17, the website BEEF magazine reported the numbers in a piece titled “US cattle markets surge as prices hit multi-year highs.”
The slaughter estimate last week was at 609,000 head, 5,000 head lower than the week prior and 38,000 below last year.
According to NerdWallet, beef prices are at a record high, due to a number of factors, and things are about to get worse price-wise.
While the cattle inventory is decreasing overall, the number of cattle in feedlots — a waystation in the commercial beef supply chain before cattle are sent to meat packers — has actually been higher than it was a year ago. That means there are still plenty of beef cows in the pipeline, which helps temper prices in the short term.
But that will soon change. There aren’t enough cattle being born to replace those going to market. That’s because many farmers reduced the size of their herds by sending female cows to slaughter instead of keeping them to breed more calves. Eventually, inventory will become scarce all throughout the supply chain and force prices even higher.
Reversing the trend isn’t like flipping a switch. First, farmers must decide to expand their herds. And then there’s the time factor: Once it’s born, a calf won’t be big enough to sell for beef until it’s roughly 18 months to 2 years old.
That tells us we can expect the cost of beef to continue rising at least two years, and that time table will be extended if farmers cannot afford to expand their herds.

As with the eggs, unless you plan to grill some steaks, the best option is to use freeze dried beef where you can just throw a handful of ground beef or beef cubes in a casserole, stew, soups or salads, and close up the can and continue using it as you want until it is empty.
