Thanks for visiting! Almost immediately upon learning of my pregnancy, I became more protective over my body than ever. Call it what you will, but I started to consider the effects of the nonstick pan I was cooking in, the scent and ingredients in my shampoo, the chemicals in my toothpaste, the preservatives in my bacon, the things that have been sprayed on my produce, the diet the chicken who laid my eggs was raised on, and everything else in the world, it's effects and consequences. I've done lots of research, and would love to share and blog for other concerned individuals to read about. If you have an urgent worry you are losing sleep over, which pregnancy seems to cause, please e-mail me and I'll do my best to cover the topic immediately. My quest for safer EVERYTHING is mostly selfish and to protect my husband and son... but the choices I'm making for my family are also better for the environment.

583.02 Labeling, marking, and advertising eggs; sales between dealers; unlawful acts.--It is unlawful for any dealer:
(1) To offer for sale or sell in this state any case, partial case, or carton containing eggs which is not labeled with the date of pack; grade; size; and name and address of the packer, distributor, or dealer. However, the department may permit a dealer to sell or consign eggs to another dealer in this state without labeling provided such eggs are accompanied by a proper bill of lading, and provided further that the consignee, upon receipt of the eggs and prior to selling or offering them for sale, affixes to each case the labeling required by this chapter.
(2) To offer for sale or sell eggs in bulk (not in cases or cartons) from any open case, box, basket, or other receptacle holding such eggs in bulk without displaying conspicuously on every such case, box, basket, or other receptacle a placard or heavy cardboard not smaller than 7 inches by 7 inches in size, on which shall be legibly and plainly printed, in letters not smaller than 1 inch in height, wording showing whether the eggs offered for sale or sold are "cold storage eggs," "unclassified eggs," or "graded eggs," and also stating the grade and size to which the eggs contained therein conform.
(3) To offer eggs for sale in any newspaper advertisement, circular, radio, or other form of advertising without plainly designating in such advertisement the grade and size to which the eggs being offered for sale properly belong.
(4) To use the name, logo, or certificate or permit number of the department on any egg or poultry advertisement or packaging material without written approval from the department
Yet it's legal to coop chickens 24/7, de-beak them, feed them antibiotics, force-molt them, and allow them to live in their own filth. I have sourced out a superior, more humane, safer egg for my family. I don't need to see a date on them, they are from a friend and they are more fresh than any supermarket egg. Not even sure what state those come from. Gross.
I think it should be unlawful for "BIG AGRIBUSINESS" to make laws like this that shut down traditional, wholesome, old fashioned farming.
