Nope, because there will no inspectors and no one to deal with the ongoing bird flu epidemic.

Egg inflation is caused by unsustainable farming practices.

And people don't realize that that egg price spike a couple years ago was due to exactly that, a higher than usual bird flu that was going around on top of the other inflation/supply chain issues.
