although death from celery seems like an OK proposition to me right now. It's the one essential ingredient for my summer salads, they all have celery in them. Celery seed might work for a lot of them, but it doesn't crunch.

The egg iproducers could cut the salmonella risk near zero if they'd just quit washing the eggs. Yes, some overly fastidious people might be deeply offended by a small smear of chicken shit or stuck stray feather on the shell, but we don't eat the shells (yet) and they come with a protective coating that prevents bacteria from getting in----unless that coating is washed off.

It's rare that an industry fix would cut costs while increasing safety, which is why I have always wondered why they haven't done it.
