"Never Waste a Good Disaster" is the mantra of a lot of
politicians, legislators, and regulators. You can bet your bottom dollar
they will take advantage of this latest disaster (the egg recall and salmonella
problem) to further their agendas. I see lots of changes in the
futures of egg producers - changes the will certainly adversely affect
small farmers. We too can adopt the mantra of "Never Waste a Good
Disaster" to promote the benefits of small farms, grass/pasture fed chicken
eggs, and the security advantages of buying local. It would take about 2
seconds to figure out how to solve this kind of problem if the eggs or
produce were from local small farms.
I find the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund really
keeps track of legislative and regulatory issues affecting small
farmers. You might want to give them a look see. I'm not affiliated
with them in any way. I'm not even a member. However, I do subscribe
to their email alerts - really good info! http://www.ftcldf.org/
