The problem I have with these recalls is my father and his before him lived on farms/ranches and most anything they consumed was from them. The interesting thing is, you never heard of this stuff, food recalls, until about the last 30 or so years.
Dad was born in south Texas and was raised from a farm garden fertilized with manure and preserves (canned) from it, the figs from the fig trees, their own eggs, and livestock. They butchered and or cured most of their own meats and saved and cleaned their own hog casings (pigs intestines) for making sausage, stuffing the sausage into them, and smoking the links. They even cured their own hams and bacon slabs. Now eggs do get a little chicken manure on them and when you slaughter and butcher, things are not exactly spick and span. Even when you milk a cow, cheese cloth saved many a bucket of milk straining out straw, dirt, bugs, and manure. Dad never recalled a time anyone in the family ever got sick. Not that I was raised so long as he was on those self reliant foods, I have though helped slaughter, collect eggs, clean casings, and make sausage the way his father did and no one has become sick. The old cistern that collected rain was the only way they got water and if you ever saw the inside of one of those in the south (thick algae, dirt, bird droppings, dead bugs, floaties, etc.), you would never touch another drop of water from one and it never killed any of us who were not raised on it or those who used them daily.
From what I have read about these eggs, all they had to do is wash them when handling and cook them well, no sopping up yoke with toast and I'm one of those who does and have yet to ever get sick. Considering the small number effected to the rest of the population of the U.S., I think this is more a lack of knowing how to prepare food and people have taken so many anti-biotics for everything under the sun, they no longer have an immune system.
I see now Wal-Mart is in a meat recall and you have seen how many of those we have had and beef for me is becoming so costly, I can not afford to eat it regularly as I used to. In fact, you can't even buy a beef brisket cheap anymore for BBQ. Used to be the poor mans cut of meat till everyone found out how well it eats real pit BBQ'ed. I suspect eggs now will increase in price as well. Again, most of these recalled meats only needed to be washed when handling before cooking and to cook them well. You will also find that many canned items with meat in them are high in salt. In the old days, Salt Pork and Bacon were literally packed in salt to preserve them. Heck, if some of these people were to find out how many bug parts are allowed in their cereal when it is made, they would starve to death before eating another bowl full. And if they ever knew how a Honey Bee makes Honey and saw all the Bee parts that end up in Honey during extraction from the foundation before it is filtered, well, I can see their faces now. And Honey not pasteurized is a natural anti-biotic.
