More Government Regulation - Oh Joy

The media has whipped people into a frenzy about salmonella and eggs. They are waving the bloody flag of mass plague, destruction, the end of civilization if we don't do something about the egg production in the country. Reminds me of chicken little!

80% of all chicken meat sold in grocery stores has salmonella on it already. Why aren't they screaming and hollering over that and recalling that poultry? Because the fact of the matter is that this bacteria exists in alot of places that you don't think about. So why aren't we all dead? Because if you cook any of these items you destroy the bacteria and make it safe to eat! As long as your not putting raw eggs into your lemon grass organic strawberry smoothie (yes, there is ALOT of sarcasm in that statement!) you aren't going to get sick.

So the government has seen an opportunity to grab more power for itself in relationship to our food supply. They are going to implement more regulations! If they want to implement a regulation that actually works, limit the number of chickens that an organization can have. Top it off at 200,000 or so. Get rid of the huge agri buisnesses and let the food supply chain go back to the local farmers who can produce better eggs with less problems!!!!
