Big Egg

It's back. 

Long time readers may recall I drew attention over a year ago to a piece of legislation that was absolute chicken s^&* bull s%^&. Mr. Big Food and I even wrote a paper and put together a presentation which we publicly presented earlier this year. I never got around to sharing the research on the bill here on the blog-- both the House and Senate versions died in committee. But I see now the chicken s$%^ has been amended to the Farm Bill. 

This week the US House of Representatives considers the 2013 Farm Bill — the agriculture policy tool for the federal government. Of all of the amendments that will be debated, there is one in particular that has conservatives fuming. If passed, the “Egg Bill” amendment will result in an unfunded government mandate on thousands of American family farmers.

I'm more motivated to share now. Check back after I've finished my chores.
