I come from Iowa, which is by a large margin the largest egg producer in the country. It could be partially a locality thing (very little transportation). Also of note, this last summer was very very rough for chicken production. Prices wer

Are you from the Bay Area? Is there anything in particular that would cause it to be extra expensive? During undergrad in the Midwest, I heard a freshman who was way too drunk fall off his lofted bed around 4 in the morning during the last

As a general note, the validity of claims from Mercola should be taken with a large grain of salt. He publicly holds a number of frankly dangerous opinions which he bestows upon anyone who reads his website, and has made many millions of do

While it's a far cry from 1,400x more in fuel tax, semis do get "punished" for their poor fuel mileage (paying more tax per mile driven) compared to a person in a Prius. In Iowa, the tax is 30.8 cents/gallon for gasolin
