In America eggs will soon cost $6 per dozen. Already they are $4.99 in most places in the retail market.
One of the problems is the centralized control of the food supply by a few or several major businesses (likely all corporations).
This relates to:
“Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.”
-Henry Kissinger
In 1974, Henry Kissinger suggested using food as a weapon to induce targeted population reduction in a previously classified 200-page report, National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests.
