The cold was for the winters of 2008, 2009 and as I recall 2010. The next big chill will be 2020 [according to my 2020 foresight] with 2019 and 2018 maybe very cold too. Be careful what you wish for.

Eggs are low end food, one up from wheat, barley and rice. Hens eat all sorts of stuff and love worms and insects, so they are easily kept around the place in rural penury. The hen is quite edible too for non-vegetarians. While in Beijing several years ago, we had what is the local "hamburger" - a crepe with an egg or two broken onto it, with a bit of spring onion and some rice stuff and I forget what else, folded up and ready to eat. We ate a lot of those, as did the local yokels. I doubt they were invented very recently.

The big transition is most likely [haven't checked] to more meat and fewer eggs as wealth has increased. But maybe both have increased.

Even with those big increases, the USA can still afford to turn food into SUV fuel. Viewed from 100 years ago, what people do now would seem very strange. Roaring around freeways for miles burning food in SUVs and staring at screens the rest of the time.
