American Olympian Kenny Bednarek is among the casualities of basic commodities shortage in American stores.
American Olympian Kenny Bednarek has voiced his frustration over a shortage of basic commodities in his city, Orlando, Florida.
The Olympic silver medalist took to his X page to lament the unavailability of essential food items, particularly eggs, a crucial part of his diet and nutrition plan as a professional athlete.
“Eggs are still out of stock at major supermarkets around Orlando, especially the Pasture-Raised Grade A ones I buy. Nearly impossible to find! How’s the situation where you are?” Bednarek wrote, seeking feedback from his followers about the situation in their areas.
According to ABC News, the shortage is a result of rising cases of avian influenza, commonly referred to as bird flu, which has significantly impacted egg-laying flocks across the United States.
