Read my comment again. A lot of them don't have anything in their wallet, so they have nothing to vote with. They buy the cheapest food because that's the only option. And yes, food poverty is still around despite food banks.

My point isn't that everyone in the country is in a position where they can afford luxury eggs, but that that very few care to.

The idea of voting with your wallet does not mean that there are no costs to doing so. Eggs are a good example because the cost is very small to upgrade. Yet, the vast majority of consumers, who could easily spend $1 more per carton, do not.
