'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:
“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)
“I would hope that parents and grown children could be friends. When a friend confides in you that she’s going to do something that you think is most inappropriate, foolhardy or even dangerous, wouldn’t you as a friend say so—in a calm, supportive way? Yet I have to be so careful what I say to my children. I have to walk on eggs to be sure I’m not hurting their feelings or interfering with their lives.”
—Anonymous Parent of Adult Children. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 5 (1978)
“The greatest public health threat for many American women is the men they live with.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
