A federal jury in Illinois has found two large egg producers and trade associations liable for conspiring to restrict supply and drive up egg prices, in a dispute the judge in the case said pitted “the nation’s egg makers against its egg breakers.”

      I mean…did you read who the plaintiffs are?

      Plaintiffs in the case are Kraft Foods Global, Kellogg’s, General Mills and Nestle USA

      I can’t imagine them getting 110m settlement will be a “win” exactly.

    General Mills Inc., Kellogg Co., and Nestle SA were the ones who sued.

    So basically, I’ve been rooting for a giant asteroid to hit the plaintiff and defendant tables mid trial.

    before any one starts imagining bond-esque villains and plots to take over the world…

    it was just a conspiracy to jack the rates of the eggs up.
