There is no such thing as an illegal egg
In the US? Kinder Surprise!
There is one impostor among us
amogus
Have we not learned anything? 😩
Sorry, “unfertilized poultry embryos experiencing undocumented status”.
Sounds like eggs have more rights than people in America
That sums up their position on a few things.
Well, we are still allowed to buy, sell, and own eggs.
I don’t get it? Is this some sort of joke?
The eggs are illegal because they are transported illegally across the border.Removed by mod
Oh infantile humor.

No chicken is illeggal
Excuse me, these are clearly chicken abortions, arrest the chickens! They’ll be easier to handcuff than the eggs, too.
If you actually read the article, seizing eggs at the border is an attempt to curb the spread of bird flue. It’s decently common to make moving certain foods across borders illegal due to disease concerns
Why does the US have high egg prices, but Canada and Mexico do not?

Damn transgenic eggs
*yolk
Didn’t you get the memo? Woke is out, DEI is in
Those eggs were DEI hires!!
Given that egg is actually a term used in some suitable contexts, it probably will be a dangerous word soon.
First they came for Enola Gay…
First they came for Enola Gay…
That is brilliant. The caveat is that anyone that understands the reference, significance, and warning probably is already on the right side. It will go right over the heads of the ones that are the problem.
The Enola Gay was on the front page of BBC yesterday.
You ever wondered how 90%* of chickens in the US are female? Almost half of them are transgender!
*not the real number, it’s (un?)surprisingly hard to find.

They think they can just hatch and get free meals!
Because there is a big bird flu in USA and it is being mismanaged by a government of idiots who rather insult every one.
I imagine the US standard of shoving antibiotics into the chickens instead of vaccinating them probably doesn’t help
capitalism.
You’ld be surprised how scarce something like eggs can get in a state-run economy, too…
Or sugar. Or gasoline. Or butter. Or meat. Or passports.

I’m not surprised. Border enforcement, like all law enforcement entities, do more to hassle harmless actions than stopping harmful ones. They’re the wrong group to handle the fentanyl epidemic anyway. That should be the job of proper drug rehabilitation programs.
could be for good reason, there’s a huge bird flu outbreak in the US right now, plus the US also has really strict egg washing laws, so depending on where these eggs are going, and assuming that it isn’t just eggs, which is likely, it could make sense.
It’s strange that Canada isn’t having the same issue: epidemics don’t usually respect borders
thats not actually all that true, spread usually tends to respect borders a little bit, but only because those borders are generally a choke point. Usually spread is going to be via things like planes and airports, which tend to uh, bypass them. Although i wonder how much livestock flies by plane.
It also depends on how it spreads, there are a few theories, one is due to the migratory behavior of birds, and if that goes over canada, that could very well be the case, but it’s not strictly clear how it’s even managing to spread right now.
Here in Massachusetts it’s been found in wild birds, including geese. However I don’t know if the geese were still migratory or had stayed
some amount of it would have to be migratory, it’s more so a question of how much of that is going to be across the northern border. That’s what would move it into canada.
Right, Canadian geese that are still migratory will be heading to Canada soon
Counterfeit eggs!
Hilarious image of egg smugglers being forced to ‘lay’ their contraband under supervision in a CBSA bathroom.
There are eggs that still come in Styrofoam?
Yes some brands sell them like that in Oklahoma at least
Dude I’m a Yankee. Born and raised in RI and now living in southeast Mass.
Last year I went to Texas. Visited Houston, Austin, and Dallas. Rented a Mustang Mach-E and drove between the three cities (which are a big triangle with not much in between).
Texas has these gas station rest stops that are well known. Bucc-ees. And they are absurd. They are at least as large as a supermarket up here.
They have fountain beverages with Styrofoam cups.
I was so taken aback by this. I cannot believe that there are still companies choosing Styrofoam for fountain drinks.
No wonder they freak out about paper straws. Like, those legitimately suck, don’t get me wrong…but paper and even plastic cups are only functionally worse than Styrofoam when it comes to insulation (and by proxy, condensation)…they are objectively better in every other way I can think of.
How the fuck are they going to adopt paper straws if they are still using Styrofoam cups?
Huh, I haven’t seen that in a few years
I don’t even, WE ARE LIVIN IN THE ONION!
The egg game is lucrative. DM me for egg info
Cant have affordable egs sir…
Can we at least have affordable drugs?
I wish I lived near Canada so that I could get breakfast there for cheap.
I was today years old when I found out egg trafficing is a thing.
Imagine going to prison for it and bunking next to a guy who got done for heroin trafficing.
