The White House plans to use 30,000 real eggs for the annual Easter Egg Roll on April 12 — despite the rising costs of eggs and general grocery and with food insecurity affecting millions of Americans.

People across the US are struggling to get eggs due to costs and a massive strain on supply in recent months. Bird flu has affected 168 million birds across the United States since the outbreak started in February 2022.

Meanwhile, 30,000 eggs will be used by White House guests for decoration and games, according to the American Egg Board.

Wasting 30,000 eggs on a symbolic event is simply unacceptable! Use fake eggs instead!

"They were saying that for Easter ‘please don’t use eggs. Could you use plastic eggs?’ I say we don’t want to do that," President Donald Trump said Wednesday in remarks announcing his new tariffs.

While American families are unable to afford basic necessities, it is cruel to use 30,000 real eggs for fun.
