They didn't make $7 profit for every $1 in costs. They made 700% more profit than the previous year, bringing it to about the same profit margin as Apple for a year. Do you think that Apple should be content with having plenty of iPhones to sell? Why shouldn't egg producers be allowed to have the same profit margins as tech companies?

You can get by without the latest iPhone. How long will you last without food?

A tech toy and food, what a comparison... What's next, let's jack up water price?

So you deserve more money for providing a luxury instead of a necessity? Limits placed on how much you could profit from food never made food cheaper. It has discouraged people from providing food.
