I just saw pictures of the chickens at this egg farm on the news.

I really had no idea it was that bad. My uncle started raising laying hens in cages, but the cages were huge and the two chickens per cage had lots of room to move around.

I had no idea that anyone would have no heart and would squeeze two chickens into an area that they could not stand, or turn around.

There is no hope for the human race as long as there are such heartless people amongest us.

The CDC has announce the creation of a "salmonella court." A one cent tax per egg will go into a fund for egg injuries.

Those who suspect any egg injury will need to travel to Washington DC with their attorneys to prove their "tummy troubles."

The egg producers certainly should not be expected to be responsible for their products.

Flouride from China with lead in it of course. Do you think they charge extra for the lead?
"you can't make this stuff up!"

Economy;
1.) Big, huge farms located in one area of the country drawing in all the money from all over the United States. Giving out a little less money to workers that live in that area, and even less money for cheap, slave labor from migrant workers of another country.

OR

2.) Smaller farmers raising chickens - are dispersed all over the United States. Drawing money from just the state levels, or regional areas. The workers is the farmer himself, also people living in this area and lots of high school studenets (yes, there use to be more jobs that fast food places for highschool students) Also my grandfather and Uncle hired at all times at least two if not three local dependentable men. And these men could support and did support their families. Of course back then health insurance was not much of an issue.

If you got sick the medical industry would not take everything you owned which is what happens now, and then you die anyway!

So economies in both situation are EQUAL. Just choose: One big company drawing it in from all over the United States = Local farmers more dispersed?

However the second choice cannot the high prices of the health INDUSTRY.

Rosenbloom on the Fox news says the salmonella is on the egg shell????? Not inside??

cmo -

This entirely man-made scheme is showing signs of backfiring on the ruling elite. The way things are going, there will be nothing left on Earth other than Giant Super Weeds, pandemics of deadly labviruses, and “useless feeders” who are too toxic to eat. Even after chelation treatment, they would still need to remove the cancer viruses from their Soylent Green, unless they can learn to live in a self sufficient bubble. This is the direction that pharma’s immoral and sacrilegious excesses are leading. There will be no utopia for anyone.

Aarrrg! Bad blogging etiquette. Apology to Teresa Conrick for quoting her AoA comment (not pharmalot) without her permission.

"The United Corporations of America value profit over life."

It's the Eggonomy, stupid! It's Stupid, eggsactly!

"The United Corporations of America value profit over life."

It's the Economy, stupid!

The United Corporations of America value profit over life. This country was born of the blood and sacrifice of patriots who believed that God gave us certain inalienable rights. Look where we are at now. Despite the lip service, Pharma does not value life. DK's book Animal Factory is a case in point. Corporate greed and the myth that all "innovations" are good for society will be the death of us all. What led to the Fall of Roman Empire? Western civilization now seems destined to fail. The way pharma has perpetuated the multi-billion dollar "vaccine preventable diseases" myth, we should not be the least bit surprised to learn what they have in mind for our food supply, and the horrors of how they treat animals.

We have lost our anchor, our focus, and our values. Many of us are blithefully marching to the beat of a false god - pharma. After one tawdry expose after another as to pharma's excesses, one might ask how much longer can they get away with abusing us. If, as historians suggest, it was lead-lined aqueducts that brought down the Roman empire, should we be the least bit concerned that the mercury, aluminum, fluoride, and adventitious presence of biotech-enhanced events in the food and water supply, might lead first to the dumbing-down, and then to control over society?

What happened to our morality and religious values? Why is the church so conspicuous in its silence? Where is the morality in eating cloned food, and receiving inoculations of non-human DNA and aborted fetal tissue?

Their strategy to control us is working. We are becoming dumber. We are losing our humanity. We are probably becoming a mosaic of chimeras, half-human/half-animal xenomorphs, thanks to pharma's genetic engineering and xenobiotic agenda. I'm reminded of the H.G. Wells' story "The Island of Dr Moreau".

My Grandfather supplied eggs to all of southcentral Kentucky.
He was even the main feature and on the cover of Rural Kentucky Magazine

"Walter Durham, Chicken Man"

He retired and handed the reins to his son. His son later gave it up and told us that he was too small to supply eggs to these big chain stores - and still to big and too many eggs for the small grocery.

So I do know, or thought I knew something about this, but apparently not.

How does samonella get inside an egg?
I know, I read the article it said it was in the feed and got inside the ovaries of the chickens.

But chickens, I thought got sick quick and died just as quick?

So, did not any of these chickens show any sign of illness?

Were they not dying by the cage full, or by the dozens, or by the house full (not uncommon and that is why grandpa made me put my feet in a pan of lysol before entering his chicken houses?

I do not understand who this could be? Does it not take a healthy chicken to lay eggs, esp when they have to meet a quota?

I only buy cage-free. I hope word gets out about how industry is allowed to torture chickens for cheap eggs. I agree that the price of eggs is absurdly low. I guess it's easier to fight against dog, cat or horse cruelty than cruelty to chickens. Thank God for David Kirby. As Temple Grandin said, the animals we eat deserve our respect. (Thank God for Temple Grandin too. I'd like to see Kirby and Grandin collaborate on a piece.)

Media scholar,

What do you mean unrelated? How is contaminated food unrelated to autism? Are you of the mind there is one reason and one reason only that autism exists as it does today? Do you claim this while you also claim that vaccine lovers are blinded?

You must know about synergistic effects. Of course this matters. If you start with a genetic susceptibility, everything from the melamine in the baby formula (of course you realize this has occurred?) to the "fake glycerin" in children's cough syrup, to the high fructose corn syrup, to arsenic in baby cribs, and on and on and on....of course this all creates a tsuanmi. Of course.

You start with the stuff you put in your body, food, water, vaccines...NEVER make the mistake of thinking it is just one thing.

Much like Nicholson said in Batman only for our country today, "this town needs an enema!"

I heard something about this yesterday. Isn't the FDA involved with this. Yeah, I don't believe anything THEY say. Eggs for dinner sounds good tonight.
