Kaya -
I believe in a lot of things that you espouse (buying local, knowing what goes on your plate and where it comes from, etc...) -
but
What bothered me the most is that you stated that you didn't care about that, though - and that led me to believe that you were in this to stop him from underselling you - I stated so quite clearly, even quoting the passage, and basically got no answer, unless the "thick headed" comment was aimed at me, (and yes, I can be thick headed at times, and I am not ashamed to say so.)
When you became snarky to Cetawin, I decided to give tit for tat. I figured you had opened the floor (so to speak) for receiving what you had dished out.
Incidently - your argument to Cetawin was
"it is not about who's eggs are better". Yet this (quality of food source) is your argument NOW - so which is it?
Are you in fact worried that the quality of food is in serious danger, are you worried that people need to be informed, or are you simply looking for a good excuse to have started this thread? (after stating --
"I could give a crap about the individual who doesnt know they are not getting farm fresh eggs for 1.25,")
Pardon me, but I am confused. Perhaps you could enlighten me as to the reason you are so upset about this man selling eggs.
thank you in advance -

sorry I truly dont remember posting that myself, I was probably getting worked up.......but still dont think I posted that? Thats what iv said i wanted the whole time honesty
What ticked me off most recently was the costomer who thought they had the same quality farm fresh eggs for 1.25. Like I tell my own gram who buys eggs at
Walmart cause they are cheep, the long term cost of cheep will be very high
Then she always wants my eggs cause the 1.00
walmart eggs are "not the same" as she says.
People should be allowed to buy any eggs they product they want if the packaging is not tricking you into thinking its something else.
It was page one post 4.
I understand that this got heated. Perhaps I did push a bit - and perhaps I'll admit that I intended to push a bit - but in all honesty, your statements were conflicting and confusing when taken as a whole.
I guess my own point was that if you are going to expose this guy as a fraud (legally expose him, of course) then you need to get the simple facts to let others know and do so without the "heated reaction". We all say things in "reaction" to other things - which is a big no-no if you are trying to sound reasonable and knowledgeable (to other people).
If you plan to let others know about this man's operation not being totally above board, you cannot possibly sound like an angry competitor or a misinformed busy body - NOT saying you are, I am saying that is how it could sound to others. That is how it sounded to me (and others on this thread) for awhile.
As in the research paper you wrote, get the facts (on this issue) in order and present them in a calm manner and you will get much further with the folks locally who you are trying to inform. Not that I'm suggesting you write a research paper to hand out on it
but the same principle goes for communicating in all facets of life.
Be consistant, be calm, state your case and others will actually listen and make an informed choice based on what facts you have provided for them. On the other hand - if you act angry and your body language says "Get the pitchforks and the torches!" a lot of people will stop listening before you've even begun.
It is possible to be passionate without coming across to others as being alarmist. Witness Glen Beck - the man makes a lot of good points, but it gets lost in a lot of alarmist and hysterical drama. He would be taken more seriously by a lot more people if he would tone it down a little.
Peace -
