High egg prices push families toward chocolate alternatives this Easter
PRICE OF EASTER EGGS by Jeff Koterba, politicalcartoons.com
A mother and her son sit at a kitchen counter as the boy eats a chocolate Easter egg for breakfast. The mother explains that chocolate eggs cost less than real eggs right now. The scene is set against the backdrop of rising egg prices heading into Easter 2023. Bird flu outbreaks had reduced supply and driven costs higher across grocery stores. The cartoon captures a common household conversation about finding cheaper options for family meals.
