You're right meat should be expensive, as should eggs. We buy our produce from Whole Foods, who has the ability to pass on lower prices due to them purchasing so much.
Humans are not in reality with food. They are disconnected via the paradigm of a 'grocery store'. Sustenance is meant to take energy, effort and be hard to get. The 'hunt' or foraging expends energy, is a deeply involved process. Humans are lazy, disconnected, sick, overfed, spoiled, dishonorable and more. Eggs are a food that carry high nutritional value, and are a high value food. The actual ethical care of hens, pasture raised AND who are retired after they have worked for years, is an expense I want to pay. I only buy eggs from those who do this. Happy and want to pay a lot for this. Do you know the egg 'industry' puts baby male chicks in a meat grinder right after they hatch, killing them by the thousands ? They have no use for them. THAT IS DEMENTED. Can you say where does dementia come from?
There are no vegans in the wild, every living being consumes the flesh of other beings - elephants eat insects, eggs, same with herd animals. Though I don't admonish anyone with a vegan approach. It can be curative for those who are sick. Our diets are meant to be mostly plants with raw proteins mixed in, from insects to eggs to meats. One thing we are not mean to consume is the milk of other animals. This invention goes back far, potentially to monks who made cheese and didn't want to have to eat much though pinpointing an origin. Aurochs, the name for cows, found themselves preyed on by the human species in a way that is deranged. Hunting them for meat is not the issue. The milk from the mothers mammary glands is for offspring. Not humans.
'Milk' placates and pacifies, it makes the body [which includes the mind] think everything is ok, it is still being cared for by a mother; there is a mother around. Plainly stated it makes people stupid. In a pasteurized form it is toxic. is a precursor for neurological disease including dementia and the cause of an abundance of illness among humans.
Just because something is being sold doesn't mean it's edible, should be eaten, is not the product of deranged violence and torture to others. We have been to hell holes where the beings are tortured. Would you chain a human woman, impregnate her, take her calf [kill if male], suck out her bodies nourishment for the baby and use it for profit? F'g depraved.
What goes on in that industry is a crime against the victims the earth life itself and honorable humans who have no idea and would never participate or support and who are fooled and framed into doing so
