It's also interesting in that even taking such a 'mundane' topic such as the sale of eggs, there can be widely diverging opinions and practices around how they are handled.
Now compare eggs to something more complex and broader in scope like healthcare, taxes, etc and it really makes you wonder how we ever come to agree on anything.
I guess it's a question of where you draw the line on important. If the FDA required hen vaccination around 100,000 few people would get a fairly serious sometimes lethal disease at the additional cost of around 4 cents an egg. If the FDA did nothing I suspect far more than 100,000 people would get seriously ill.
My point was more that your 4 cents per egg was (apparently) wrong by a factor of ~90.
Do you have reason to doubt the $0.14 per hen quoted in the article? I'm interpreting the $0.14 as the incremental cost of vaccinating the birds, is that the wrong interpretation?
Is the article flat out wrong?
