A former FDA food safety expert is urging Americans to change their cooking and grocery habits amid a growing bird flu outbreak on US dairy farms.
California recorded its sixth case of bird flu in dairy farmers in just three weeks and 11 more livestock herds have been affected by the virus, bringing the total to 90.
While there have been no official cases of the H5N1 virus infecting people through food, officials could not rule it out in one isolated case in Missouri earlier this year.
In light of this, ex-government food tester Dr Darin Detwiler told DailyMail.com people should begin making some dietary changes.
He said raw eggs pose the biggest risk, so popular breakfast items like soft-boiled eggs, poached eggs, or dishes like eggs Benedict should be avoided all together.

In the Summer of “75 right before I went into the Navy with my best friend, we were in my brother’s apartment which was part of my parent’s house.
It was about 9:00 PM, we were watching “Cool Hand Luke” and after seeing the scene where Cool Hand Luke eats the eggs, my buddy says “I could do that!” so we jump up and open the fridge, but there are only a dozen there.
We opened the door to my parent’s house and ran down the wide staircase into the kitchen, and found two dozen there. (That was no surprise to anyone who knew my mom)
We pilfered her entire store of eggs, ran back up the stairs with our egg booty, and proceeded to boil three dozen eggs...I think we probably agreed if he looked like he was going to make it, we would drive and get some, but I don’t recall!)
My buddy starts putting the boiled eggs down, and I thought “Wow, he might do it!” and he burned right through ten and up past fifteen before he began to slow down. He got to twenty, and they were going down hard, but he doggedly kept choking them down.
I think it was around twenty-five before it all went explosively wrong.
LOL. I have not thought about that for years...until tonight. I am going to text him this post...:)
It appears that all of America’s food supply has been poisoned during Joe Pedo’s and Camela’s watch. Some of us think it’s intentional. Sort of like a way to cull the herd.
ROTFL.
I didn’t worry when I was young; but over the decades, food production has taken place on such a more massive scale than it used to be that I don’t trust quality control as much as I did when I was young.
You can pasteurize eggs at home, if you want to eat them raw or if a recipe calls for raw egg; it’s not hard or complicated to do.
(We used to be able to buy pasteurized eggs in the supermarket, but I haven’t seen them in years.)
>> I think it was around twenty-five before it all went explosively wrong.
“explosively wrong”... that’s, like, poetic prose right there, man. Paints a picture and all. ROFL

Chris Christie joke
In Europe they don’t refrigerate the eggs, you buy them off the shelf at room temperature.
R U in Texas?
Wastewater In 9 Texas Cities Tests Positive For H5N1 Avian Flu

“people who are still wearing masks......while driving....by themselves....”
Ugly people, probably.
Of course, cookie dough could be lethal.
That’s because they aren’t washed in some European nations.
Eggs naturally have a thin coating when they come out of the hen, which helps keep them fresh and protects from disease getting on the surface, and in turn into the egg itself. In the US, we wash that off, so the eggs have to be refrigerated.

They don’t use deodorant, either.
I don’t know what that has to do with the price of eggs in France but I thought I’d mention it anyway!
I noticed in Europe the eggs taste much better.
The bread is a lot better, too.
Mass production on the scale of a country like ours is often the enemy of flavor.
I eat bread here in the US, I gain weight.
I can eat all the bread I want in Europe and not gain weight.
Eat zeeee bugs!
I’ve heard others say the same thing.
I don’t know exactly why it is; but I know that some countries still use strains of wheat that aren’t as ‘played around with’ as the flour we use is.

Nor do I.
