What egg shortage? White House Easter Egg Roll to proceed with thousands of real eggs amid soaring prices.The 147th White House Easter Egg Roll hosted by President Trump and first lady Melania Trump will be held today with thousands of real eggs, despite skyrocketing prices for consumers.
About 30,000 real eggs, or 2,500 cartons of 12, donated from America’s egg farmers will be used for decorating and games on the South Lawn, according to the American Egg Board, which helps facilitate the annual event. That number is on par with the amount of eggs used in years past, even though a nationwide bird flu outbreak has caused egg shortages, resulting in soaring prices.
