Salmonella Egg Production at Wright County Egg in Pictures

By Bill Marler, Esq.

The egg hearing today was disturbing on many levels.  The petty bickering between the democrats and republicans, although expected, was childlike.  The anti-chicken protesters were entertaining, but besides the point.  Probably the most disturbing were the faux apologies by the mass egg producers who tried to portray themselves as poor farmers that simply grew too fast to keep up with all the work - like not having dead chickens laying around, or mounds of chicken shit, or so much liquid shit that it seeped outside.  As they saw, a picture is worth a thousand words.

And, we still can not seem to pass comprehensive food safety legislation to give the FDA power and resources to inspect, and to increase penalties for violations like the above that has lead to 1,600 Salmonella Illnesses?
