<p>I am also a fan of eating local foods, but this was interesting–

<p>I eat Salmonella for breakfast… hopefully not literally.</p>

<p>Interesting article which states there is not strong evidence that eating eggs from free range chickens are safer than conventional eggs, at least as it relates to salmonella.</p>

<p>I do buy the free range chicken eggs myself, or pasteurized if I need raw egg for a recipe or if I want to eat eggs sunny side up.</p>

<p>Our state was, but local grocery stores were unaffected. Don’t eat many eggs (and cooking thoroughly kills the grems). Discovered the eggs I bought more than a week ago are still uneaten- size large instead of the usual jumbo that has more white (we typically toss the yolks) because they were 68 cents? with coupon instead of around to $2 for jumbo as a maximum price. You don’t want to know our milk prices…</p>

<p>I get them five dozen at a time at costco for about 6 dollars… yummy breakfast.</p>
