WOW! I didn't know that about the eggs. The food industy is so shady, these big corporations are so corrupt.

EVERY industry with a lobbying arm is corrupt in this country anymore. The sad fact of the matter is that this scam is just, forgive me, chicken feed compared to some of the bigger rip offs out there.

This is just one more reason to buy your own chicken coop.

Easy solution to all this federal involvement in the "what is organic" question.

Start a company modeled after the jewish kosher industry. Ever notice the K or the U in a circle on your food products? Companies pay these groups vast sums to declare the food meets certain standards. No governmental interference. They are a 3rd party for profit industry who performs their own inspections and testing.

Can't do that- too hard to scam a system like that- there needs to be politicians involved, so they can get kickbacks...

Oh my God, these regulations are RIDICULOUS. Noise cannons to scare off wild birds so as to ostensibly minimize exposure to salmonella? Never mind the science, there are factory farms that need looking after!
