I hope folks fight.

They tried to do the same thing here on Salt Spring a few years back, but after some creative protesting and mass flouting of the rules, they gave up and now leave us alone.

There are many stores here that sell local eggs.

"Unfortunately when you get into business, there are rules, regulations that we all have to adhere to. There's inspections out there and that's not all bad and they’re there to protect the consumers," Coburn said."

Uh huh. Cigarets are widely scientifically accepted to cause cancer. Cancer, it kills people. Funny how the government still allows their sale and makes billions of dollars in proffit off a product that KILLS.

But we have to "protect" the consumers.

I wouldnt be so disgusted with the whole thing if there was some smaller body that could "inspect" us small scale producers and put in place REASONABLE regulations. But hey, that would mean the Big Boys might loose a few dollars, and we cant have that now can we?

We won a little battle on Gabriola too, they tried to tell the farmers market concession that she couldn't sell cinnamon buns made with farm eggs... Surprised the inspector made it off the island in one piece...he never bothered the farmers market again and was moved to another district.

Yay islands!

I could SO write these stories;


Customers left scrambling as hard boiled Health Department cracks down on Real Food Connection, accusing them of playing a shell game and poaching commercial egg sales. Story dated Fryday, July 6.

Fowler, you slay me!

My goodness, Fowler, you have missed your calling!

Imagine this, I have gotten to the end of the thread and the article is still loading. Why do news articles take so long?

They may have found a way around the regulations by using a refrigerated truck outside.
