The only political thing I read was her mention of the Jets :-)

I agree about promoting quality of the product, but also quality of
care. The eggs sold at the farmer's markets are *generally* produced
by birds raised in a humane manner, very unlike the eggs at the
grocery store.

I believe that if people could actually experience the difference,
they would happily pay a premium for eggs from free range, naturally
raised birds.

The recommended methods for raising commercial eggs guarantee cruelty,
starting with the killing of all male chicks at birth, the tiny size
of the cages, the repeated doses of drugs, the bare subsistence diet,
the early death, etc.
