Health
'Sunny side up' eggs have experienced a decline in popularity in the US as fears of salmonella egg poisoning have become more prevalent. Some restaurants have added legal disclaimers to their menus, warning against eating undercooked eggs, or have chosen not to offer the dish at all. In some parts of the United States, such as Michigan, this disclaimer is required for all restaurants serving eggs.
However, this style is still overwhelmingly popular in the UK, which has a British Egg Industry Council that awards the Lion Quality mark to eggs that, among other things, come from hens that have been vaccinated against Salmonella.

Famous quotes containing the word health:

—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
“At present the globe goes with a shattered constitution in its orbit.... No doubt the simple powers of nature, properly directed by man, would make it healthy and a paradise; as the laws of man’s own constitution but wait to be obeyed, to restore him to health and happiness.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“While I am to crawl upon this Planet, I would willingly enjoy the health at least of an insect.”
