You must never wonder why eggs are so cheap, just enjoy the fact that they are, right?
I'm sure the egg lobby would appreciate doubling of egg prices
must be a weak lobby

Actually, McDonalds started serving breakfast all day a couple of years ago.  Because only having "breakfast items" available until 10:30am is stupid.
good to know


I quit eating at McDonalds many years ago, because it's stupid

Eggs are a great ingredient for many dishes.
They are, but you don't sell as many eggs being merely an ingredient as you do as a main dish (a la the 'tradition' of breakfast food).  

I'm still amazed by the pushback I'm getting on this (not by you).  We all know what lobbyists are and what marketers do.  The egg industry has a massive (billions) motivation to maintain its status as a benchmark foodstuff.  If it "lost" breakfast food altogether, the egg market would plummet.  Right now, it just competes with cereals (who have their own lobbists, I assure you), breads, oatmeal/grits, etc.  But if the idea of 'breakfast foods' went away, eggs would be competing against all foods, and would get lost in the shuffle.

How is this not plainly obvious?!?

You need low prices in a volume business.  Are you just bored right now?

they don't subscribe to the notion that breakfast is the most important meal of the day?

and they prefer cheese as the protein as opposed to bacon, sausage, or eggs?
No, because.. it isn't.

That message had to come from somewhere, though.  Hmm, maybe it's just a tradition.

I think it may have started with the farmers, having that big breakfast before working all day in the fields?? Then spilled into the factories, etc.

We don't need to eat like that anymore, and shouldn't. Best to be up for about 4 hours, and then eat. Drink lots of water to hydrate for the day too, upon waking.

Shhhhh, that doesn't help sell eggs.

wouldn't it be better and MUCH more profitable to see one egg for a dollar than a dozen eggs for a dollar???

Lobbyists and marketers cater to a different set of people, as I explained, clearly, with definitions.

We don't eat eggs of lobbyists.  The notion is absurd.  We eat eggs because of tradition, and some because of marketing.

Oam,  your position comes down to: a product exists, people involved with its production, and distribution are responsible for its success .

This is unique to eggs?

Of course not.  
But isn't having our AM food choices being limited sort of stupid?  If I want a burger, shouldn't I be able to get a burger before 9am?  And no, it's not truly a big deal, but it probably irks me because the fact that I can't get a burger before 9am is based on nothing.  There's no actual reason behind it.

I predict in 50 years, breakfast food won't be a thing.  It's already slowly giving way.  McDonalds offers all-day breakfast items.  You can get tacos at Taco Bell as soon as they open.  Burger King has a full breakfast menu, but also offers the Whopper as soon as it opens.  All of these began a couple of years ago.

We have people bitching about having to wear a mask for 13 minutes as they go into a store.  Meanwhile, a vast majority of food types are restricted in the AM because of......what?  Nothing.
