The first day of 2025 brought the usual optimism for a fresh start — but for shoppers in Colorado Springs, it also brought a rude awakening at Walmart on Razorback Drive.
What should have been a quick trip to restock essentials after a New Year’s workout turned into an exercise in frustration. Empty produce shelves and absurd prices for basic groceries left shoppers fuming, particularly over the latest sticker shock: $8 for a dozen cage-free eggs.
In 2020, eggs were a no-brainer at just $1.50 a dozen. Now, thanks to Governor Polis and his progressive policies, they’re practically a luxury item. The culprit? Colorado’s 2020 cage-free egg law, which requires all eggs sold in the state to come from cage-free facilities by 2025. While it’s nice that chickens are finally living the dream, one has to wonder if the same level of care could be extended to Colorado’s families.
Under Polis’s leadership, the state seems more concerned with the souls of chickens than the very real struggles of starving children. Sure, the chickens now have room to spread their wings, but what about the kids whose parents can’t afford basic groceries? What about the families forced to leave fresh produce behind because the shelves are empty — or worse, because they simply can’t afford it?
This isn’t just a Colorado problem. Inflation under President Biden has wreaked havoc on grocery prices across the country. But here in the Centennial State, Polis’s policies have turned a bad situation into a full-blown crisis. By prioritizing animal welfare over affordability, he’s made it clear where his loyalties lie — and it’s not with struggling families.
Natural protein sources like eggs, once a post-workout staple for their affordability and simplicity, are now priced out of reach for many. Under this administration, feeding your family feels more like a luxury than a right. At $8 a dozen, eggs are no longer just a breakfast option; they’re an economic burden.
It’s time to ask some hard questions. Why are we bending over backward to ensure chickens have comfortable housing while families can’t afford to keep a roof over their heads? Why are we safeguarding the souls of hens while leaving our children’s futures in jeopardy?
For Coloradans, the message is clear: in Polis’s Colorado, animals come first, and families are left to fend for themselves.
