Eggs are a good source of a lot of nutrients, they are one of the quickest and easiest to prepare unprocessed foods, and I hate the idea of something that is going to cause a single mom trying to raise a couple of kids on minimum wage and/or food stamps having to pay a higher price for eggs.
What I'd REALLY like to see is better standards for what can be called free-range, humane, cage free, pastured, etc. because right now those terms are pretty loosely defined. I have the luxury of a good source for genuinely free range eggs. I pay a lot for them, but we don't use much; Kaia is the only one in our family that eats eggs. But not everybody has the time and inclination to actually get face to face with the farmer and talk about how their food is produced, so I'd like to see labels that MEAN something.

That said, I'll probably vote yes.
