It was somewhere on the Internet, which of course you 
can't always believe, and I haven't found the reference 
again but I'll keep looking. However, I would not leave it 
past today's Tysons and the like to find a cheap way to 
make an egg bring in more money. The article said the eggs 
came out light brown, but still were able to command 
better pricing, which was the point of it all. Knowing how 
agribusiness works, I don't really doubt it.
