Eggs - a Livestock and Meat commodity

[Sdajii]

PLASTIC ?1?!

our cardboard cartons are likely made from imported wood pulp ( making packaging costs higher )

I'm not sure which is better or worse from an environmental point of view, although Western people have been heavily conditioned to view plastic as evil, if it's a straw anyway, but to ignore it in most contexts. Wood and pulp alternatives are also environmentally harmful. The plastic cartons are good in that you can see the eggs which means you don't have to search through the cartons to find one without broken eggs. The plastic bags they're usually sold in are weird though, you need to be careful when taking them home to avoid breaking any.

Those cardboard trays the eggs are sold in layers of 30 on wouldn't work in plastic.

I once saw an egg truck fully loaded with them crash... hehe, trivial crash for the vehicle but quite a mess!

Anyway, point is, eggs are plentiful and cheap here, no issues, farming practices are not clean etc, and bird flu isn't an issue. It's mysteriously an issue restricted to countries primarily populated by White people, in three separate corners of the world.
