There are two kinds of food: things that grew on a plant or things that ate a plant.
Things that were made in a plant don't qualify as food.

Yes!

And eggs are already a nearly perfect food.

Yes, but if people raise their own, then how can corporations profit from a perfect food?
They still haven't found out how to charge us for air.
Looking at the number of bottles of water sold a year, they have that one in the bag.

My eggs are lost in the mail

I guess my marans eggs will be a delayed New Years hatch.... I still have eggs from the grocery store and feed store. I will set the marans eggs when they arrive.

It's the time of year very bad time for shipped eggs, plus some many packaged going through the postal service workers don't care how they handle things. I hope your eggs make it safe and sound today or tomorrow.

I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm terrified mine may be as well. The tracking hasn't updated since it left the sort facility on Friday.

Don't be sad. My eggs are probably not fertile and I'm not sad.

Ok, I won't be sad!

I stand corrected. I thought of that when I saw you quoted me.
