If eggs are a staple in your family’s diet and you’d like to keep it that way, now would be a good time to get a few laying hens. Next month, beginning January 1, 2015, the chicken-and-egg production in the United States is in for a big shock. That’s when California’s new regulations on egg-laying hens goes into effect. And the effects of those regs on eggs will be felt nationally, even globally. The incredible, edible, prolate spheroid-shaped poultry product, which has long been one of the most affordable sources of high-quality protein, is certain to become significantly more expensive.Oh, please. There's nothing to stop egg producers from moving to or springing up in free states, even if Kalifornia has been a major producer in the past. It would be better for their businesses anyway, and plus, who wants to fund fascism with their corporate and personal income taxes anyway? And that organic fertilizer HSUS is selling won't sell here, though I wouldn't mind seeing them waste their money trying.
