A new report says rising egg prices are soaring because companies are price gouging customers. According to data from the United States Department of Agriculture, egg prices nearly doubled in the last six weeks. A dozen costs on average about eight-dollars. The rise in prices has largely been blamed on the Bird Flu. However, the watchdog report from Food And Water Watch says that bird flu has "slightly reduced" egg production, but "corporate greed has also played a major role." It turns out that about 10 companies control most of the egg sales in the country and one of them has made a billion dollars in profits since the beginning of the bird flu outbreak.
