i could be eating omelettes every day

people are becoming fed up with the high cost of eggs, especially those who care about them being organic and from chickens treated humanely. i am currently listening to the npr food podcast about people (in relatively urban areas) illegally raising a couple of chickens in their backyards to get their eggs. nowadays i eat a lot of eggs, often going through a dozen in less than a week. i'm sure there are many downsides (besides noise issues and how it would coexist with jessie) to this idea that i have not thought of, but i feel like it is something that i could get behind and then not actually do.
