Who says an egg producer has to serve California at all.
No sane person I ever met. Hell, I live here and I hope none of them comply.
Ya know, if every kid in America ate a boiled egg every day it would likely raise the collective IQ of the country by 10 points.
The vast majority of that increase would come whether the eggs are free range organic, or "factory". Throw in an apple, some Fritos and a glass of milk and we would have changed the world.
The market should be allowed to set the price of eggs without interference from any outside force.
But it would be nice to know what the hens have been fed.
