Am American, my fridge is packed with unwashed eggs. You just can't buy them at the store here. Fortunately my pets poop breakfast.

But they're still in the fridge.

True, old habits and all that.

Serious question: Why don't Americans like unwashed eggs? Was there a breakout of an illness in the past or?

Apparently it started in the 1970s over concerns about foodborne illnesses, yes. https://tellus.ars.usda.gov/stories/articles/how-we-store-our-eggs-and-why#

Can we see a picture of your food-pooping pets? I like chickens.

This is 2/3 of our flock, we have a mix of Black Jersey Giants, Sapphire Olive Eggers, Welsummers, Americanas and 1 Brahma.
