Well I have been lurking here for a week or so now and learning much, thank you all, however, eggs, eggs I know.
I raise chickens just for eggs and have for 11 years now. My girls as I like to call them, are free range happy healthy girls. I feed table scraps, cracked corn grown locally and the rest they get from the earth as is intended. I feed my Scotties whole raw eggs several times a week and our cats as well. They all love the eggs. No one has every become sick from our eggs. I do eat a raw egg about once a week myself whipped in a glass of milk. Have been doing this for years and not dead yet or been sick. I think much of the salmonella scare is just that scare tactics. The following link has good info on eating raw eggs. http://www.mercola.com/2002/nov/13/eggs.htm Now more on eggs. First organic I have come to learn is not necessarily from happy, healthy, free range chickens. All it means is the chickens are fed organic feed. Well imho so what. The egg is mother natures most perfect food. Basically a chicken roams and eats all kinds of bugs, plants, earth, worms and on. Her body spends much of its time taking what she eats and making anti bodies to almost every virus, bacteria out there. This is done in preparation of producing a healthy offspring. There is a company which has spent major $$$ doing research on this very thought to create a product to boost immunity. But really the pure egg offers so much to our health. Oh and the salmonella is usually from the shell which was not washed well or so they say. I do know farmers who just use a fine piece of sandpaper to clean off the shell.
