PAYING EIGHT DOLLARS FOR EGGS IS A BARGAIN? SINCE WHEN!?

Remember when the price of food went up a bit last year and everyone screamed and cried?  Legislators were getting calls right and left about how their constituents couldn't afford to go to the grocery store anymore?  The media had us all concerned that Americans were finally going to go hungry?

Michael Pollan, journalist and self-appointed "food production system expert" with zero background in food science, nutrition or agriculture, has announced that he feels $8 for a dozen eggs is a great thing!

What's even crazier is that the elite in this country agree with him! 

I'm afraid that we have seriously gotten to a point in this country where we are way too wealthy and out of touch with reality.  We don't know what it is to be hungry and we left our common sense in back in the 1900's.

If you need more proof that the rich and influential in American are getting a bit extreme, check out this article on how the EPA wants to regulate dust in the air.  Dust!
