Not only are eggs a source of (formerly) cheap protein, but think of how many things use eggs as an ingredient. Saw a jar of mayo - basic Best Foods - is almost $10 a jar. Bread is sky high - $7 for basic sliced sourdough.
That's the plan. They're going after staples, the things that will cause the most damage with least effort.
