The title refers to two different court decisions, one by justice Lynn-Smith the other by chief justice Brennan. A broiler and an egg producer attempted to argue for their right to produce and serve their established organic markets under the provisions of the Natural Products Marketing Act. Their percieved competition argued that it is only an existing producer that has the right to a new market and only the established agency can determine the conditions of entry for a new product. Based on the finding that all chickens are the same, the totalitarian control over market and production was given to the private interest groups representing the status quo. Brad Reid was coerced to become a member in the association, which has been trying to shut him down for several years. Fred Reid was ordered to join the BC Egg Producers and pay levies for services that were never rendered, unless harassment can be considered a service. If a chicken is a chicken, does it have to cross the road?

The reason we decided to go live with an unfinished site is that we were deeply affected by what happened to Fred Reid of Olera Farms. This recent event will have an effect on quite a few more egg producers. We are hoping to change the course of events by offering a forum where people can communicate and plan the actions that have to be taken.
