The sad state of eggs in America’s diners.

waitress tells cook that egg farmers are thereCooking with eggs!

This cartoon is an example of what makes my restaurant feature special: there is an implied slapfight in the cartoon. 🙂 Ooh, egg fight! His expression is priceless.

Why, if I was a paranoid person, I’d guess that there’s always some group out to get you. And believe me, there is always a lobby in Washington planning to swing the vote their way.   Farmers control the USDA – fact.

Should we fight the American Egg Board? – not very nice people

From Wiki on the American Egg Board:

The Board consists of 18 members and 18 alternates from all regions of the country, nominated by the egg industry, and appointed by the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. AEB and all program activities are funded by U.S. egg producers, subject to USDA approval.

You know what I wish? That the Egg Board would require that all hens be treated humanely, let outside, instead of trapped in cages where they can’t move, and not killed after they are only 6 months old. I wish I didn’t know all this about egg farmers. Even though I LOVE eggs, this is totally gross.

From my weekly restaurant cartoon feature, Daily Special. Here’s how to get new food cartoons delivered to you each week!
