Then I wouldn't eat those eggs or the chicken. Not a big fan of chicken
anyway. I do tend to care about what I eat.

I wasn't talking about mass producers. A local farmer who raises
chickens and sells eggs.

When was the last time you had *powdered* eggs? On a Navy ship? The
one where you claim they had such wonderful food and prime steaks?! I
don't know anyone who buys powdered eggs. Some of those fear for your

eggs.
