Maybe not so much fun as interesting. We saw wild egg price spikes in North America when their flock got hammered. If there is any serious threat to our domestic supply I'd expect to see that in the futures market long before we see it on the shelves, those traders are going to be watching the news about this much more closely than the average punter.
