Why are we asking for this? Just let the flu work itself out, deal with our costs, and focus on domestic production. Eggs are getting thrown out still. And those imports won’t save anyone who’s actually starving.
I bet they’re asking only to be able to say “see? Nobody helps us. Why should we defend them?”
I don’t think their thoughts go that far in advance. But yes, that’s how it’ll be sold in six months to a year when our chicken populations stabilize. For me though, this shouldn’t even be a matter for the government, if it’s going to happen at all. The egg producers should be doing this as part of their private enterprise, not the government. Eggland’s Best, Goldhen, and the like could handle it. I don’t want the government trying to do something that should be left to the free market.
