The hurricanes may also be responsible for a record 49.3 percent jump in the price of eggs. This surge contributed to a 1.4 percent increase in the wholesale price of food last month. Katrina and Rita tore through areas of the Gulf that are major poultry producers. Higher egg costs are likely to be passed on to consumers, at least to some extent, at the grocery store.
Hmm, I guess lots of chickens bought it when those hurricanes blasted through those areas. Time to cut back on my Egg Mcmuffin consumption.
