'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:
“The philanthropist too often surrounds mankind with the remembrance of his own cast- off griefs as an atmosphere, and calls it sympathy. We should impart our courage, and not our despair, our health and ease, and not our disease, and take care that this does not spread by contagion.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We have to give ourselves—men in particular—permission to really be with and get to know our children. The premise is that taking care of kids can be a pain in the ass, and it is frustrating and agonizing, but also gratifying and enjoyable. When a little kid says, “I love you, Daddy,” or cries and you comfort her or him, life becomes a richer experience.”
—Anonymous Father. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 3 (1978)
“The filth and noise of the crowded streets soon destroy the elasticity of health which belongs to the country boy.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
