Everyone Keeps Getting Sick! Is it the eggs?!

[VettekLisa]

I guess it's all what you are used to.
I work for a veterinarian, and I can stand outside the
surgery door and watch the surgeries while eating.
Doesn't faze me at all.
But the thought of having to kill and process one of my
own chickens, just makes me nauseous.

Why no the meat isn't wasted, it is donated to people that need it and there are other people in my family eat it, just not me. We live in a rural area that has quite a few people that don't have the money for meat, so I absorb the cost to be able to enjoy hunting and other people get to eat good meat.

wow!! you are sensitive...you know I can eat a sandwich sitting on my horse and find horse hair on it and it doesnt bother me...but find a human hair and I will throw it away..that just grosses me out..

I'm usually OK with finding a hair in my food - unless it looks NOTHING like my own or my animals - then I get kind of grossed out.

I will say that I tend to mix milk into my scrambled eggs, and that helps take the edge off the stronger taste of the eggs. Maybe I'll give it another shot this weekend - this time trying an omlette instead.

I do not wash my eggs. The eggs I sell get a rinse and a paper towel to get any poo off that's noticable but I try not to scrub the egg.

My mom is totally opposite. Thursday evenings are fried egg night for her and as of late with some of my girls in a molt I have been unable to sell them any eggs so she had to go and buy a dozen from the store. She was raised on a farm but has eaten store bought for 45+ yrs. except the occasional dozen she could find fresh. She had digestive issues with the store bought ones. If she eats them for dinner by 3am she is up and in the bathroom. She can't wait till all my girls start to lay again, lol.

I also know someone who can NOT eat store bought eggs. He told me he was allergic for them and was more than willing to cough up 10.00 for a dozen of my girls eggs. I don't charge that much for the eggs, I just didn't have any change and he said keep it cause he really wanted those eggs. LOL

I tried not to comment because most have heard me rant. I am allergic to soy. It took 30 years for it to become a full-blown allergy! If you have troubles with indigestion look at the other items: 1. what you cooked them in(vegetable oil, margerine) have soy 2. what you ate with them(margerine on toast)(bread made with) soy 3. what you drank with it (creamer for coffee) soy. If your normal diet changed to contain more soy products? This may not be your problem; but it may help someone!

I can eat scrambled eggs fine, but fried makes my stomach icky . . .always has. And I buy fresh eggs right now, before I get my hen house and Alpaca barn built this Spring

. I agree with everyone who thinks we eat so much store bought processed foods, when we get something fresh, our bodies are in shock and react accordingly. To the lady that uses sand to wash her eggs, how often do you change the sand? That is a unique idea and would be so easy to keep a covered bucket close at hand to use right quick . . .love reading everyone's ideas!!!

Don't you think its funny that the gov. allows so much rat poop and hair in our food processing, but if we find a "homegrown" hair, we freak out and think we aren't cleaning good, or whatever . . .my DH will throw it away if he finds something in his food, but I usually look it over pretty good and sort of do like Aunt Edna did on "Vacation" when the dog pee'd on the picnic basket. LOLOLO!!!
lOVE THAT MOVIE!!!

Ewwwwww.

I will throw food out if I find a hair in it as well.
And NO ONE is allowed in the production kitchen without a hair "net" on. I drive the bakers nuts over that. Even if someone is just dropping by to visit. If I am there I throw a hair net at em. We all wear them when in there. But they tend to let people/visitors not working on the cakes etc in without using one.

A lot of people have become allergic to soy due to the GM soy that is in everything. Same goes with the corn. I no longer buy anything that has either of these two in any form. We grow/raise most of our food. What we don't grow/raise I get from some friends that do. I also got away from feeding my chickens feed with soy. They are on an organic soy free feed and have began to implement permaculture ideas to grow more of their food.
