    I don’t understand egg-xactly how that would work? Eu standards are different. Would the new administration change fda rules out of hand, eliminating the wash and change mandated ( because USA eggs are so nasty in the factory farms this is required); or would someone connected make bank in a new scam to “process” them? Either way, there are not enough eggs to bring down prices, so all this is just a demented publicity stunt, with Americans being egged on about it
