Eggs-actly What Was Going On?
Utah has gotten into a strange lawsuit that sounds more like a tv sitcom than a legal case and here is how it goes.
The Utah Attorney General in Utah started sniffing rotten egg activity on the refrigerated aisle of the market. I don't know what tipped the legal arm off, but they suspected that the there was something afoul in Denmark when it came to the price of eggs. So he broke a few ideas out to make an omelet of a theory and found that someone was not playing fair.
A Scramble of Suspects
Actually, three someones, Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., Versova Holdings, and Hickman’s Family Farms. After some sleuthing Attorney General Derek Brown was able to prove that these three companies were convoluting to coordinate their pricing making the cost of an egg higher than it would have been had they been competing.
The egg suppliers were caught and chose to fess up like the villain in the end of a Scooby-doo episode and promised to make amends.
Payment in Eggs
Now the story really turns as the Utah powers that be decided rather than a dollar amount that might go unnoticed by the public, they wanted eggs. Yes, eggs paid in kind.
Utah has just received its first instalment as a member of the Egg-of-the-month club with 1,512,000 eggs of 1.5 million promised. Where will they go? Utah is going to supply food banks with eggs. Eggs are a luxury a food bank often has to go without and now, thanks to a new rooster in the coup, those in need are going to have a chance to eat eggs, 1.5 million of them.

I don't know if that is a lot for a state sized appetite, but it sounds like the needy in Utah might need to brush up on their egg recipes.
