Suppose this will hatch consumer's attention?

An article in our local paper this morning. -- http://thechronicleherald.ca/Search/1114044.html

Not sure if the consumer's attention needs can be hatched or not, meant to say "catch their attention". Wasn't fully awake this morning when posting this.

I don't think consumers in general will be very interested. Those of us in agriculture, animal agriculture particularly, should be though. I agree with the need to be more vigilant on animal diseases and food borne illnesses but the writer loses some credibility when he mentions BSE and omits to mention Foot and Mouth. The former is essentially no risk but the latter is a huge risk. I hope the non-retired CFIA officials are more on the ball and know the difference between the two.
