In the wake of the massive recall of America's all time favorite breakfast item, we are alerted and surprised. Yet like every other food issue of the past we will ultimately forget about it and move on as if nothing ever happened.
What is it about Americans (humans in general) that allows us to accept individuals like Austin “Jack” DeCoster, Owner of Wright County Egg, paying a few fines, settling a few employee disputes, and continue selling as if nothing ever happened. And with Jack, we're not talking about a one time mistake or a trial run business error. Jack's had a 20 year history of earning violations.
There's other places, specifically local farmers, to get your eggs from. Salmonella and e-coli free or not, buying any more eggs hailing from Wright County Egg Company will be like saying, "I do not matter - Feed me whatever you wish!"
