So it looks like the government needs to step in and protect us from eggs now. From CNN:
“The fresh eggs from the recalled firms are being diverted to USDA-approved facilities for pasteurization,” Food and Drug Administration spokeswoman Patricia El-Hinnawy said Wednesday.
Well honestly, that is about the expected result. Instead of fixing the problem (large scale centralized food production) we come up with another quick fix.
I just find it amusing (especially after raising a few hens in our backyard) that there is all this hoorah about some eggs. People really should just take matters into their own hands and raise a few themselves. But as we’ve seen, the government does NOT want that.
I mean just think. People could be responsible for themselves and there wouldn’t be a need for a .gov agency to oversee EVERY single egg this country produces and consumes. It really is laughable the lengths we Americans go to in order to feel safe.
