Journalism: A demanding mistress? Egg-zactly!
Posted Sep 1, 2010 by Tom Jackson

Here is a rare, if belated, peek into the lengths to which your humble correspondent—*blush*—is willing to go to haul down that elusive tell-all interview for Sunday’s column on egg farm safety precautions. 
That’s me in the haz-mat lite get up, Simpson Farms chief Wilton Simpson in civvies. “The chickens don’t know you,” Simpson explained. Seriously? Well, and also that Simpson hadn’t been off the property that day; anyone who came from beyond the security gate had to suit up before entering the chicken barns, lest they transfer some foreign contamination to nearly 1 million Hy-Line hens, sentencing most of Central Florida to weeks of breakfast cereals and uneventful baked goods.
And nobody wanted that.

Did you get to keep the outfit? You could use it to paint your kitchen.
Really cute, and you are so brave—blush—to publish the photo.
