How Chickens Got Expensive

Remember last winter how the prices of eggs were going through the roof? Remember how the media in this country tried to pass off that super inflation on an outbreak of bird flu months earlier? Remember how a deep dive into the data exposed that monopolistic practices in the egg industry was the actual problem?  

8 minutes:

Have you noticed that in industries where there is true competition inflation has been much less dramatic? 

Have you noticed that in Iowa as the grocery business has become much more consolidated that choices have diminished and prices are rising without any end in sight? Is there any correlation between Iowa’s grocery business being basically 2 companies and these price rises.

Just want folks to think about such things as they go through their day to day routine. Be cognizant if you can of what the real reason for price rises.
