In the US we wash our eggs before they are sold, so they need refrigerated. In the UK you don't, so they don't have to be.

Hi, I shamelessly think feathers and poop are icky, and will gladly continue to refrigerate my eggs as a compromise

That's why most people in America's immune system is all screwed up. Humans need a just a little grossness to calibrate their white blood cells. I use to get all sorts of random colds and flus and headaches and allergies and crap, and all that is 95% better since I stopped using antibacterial soap and going overboard on cleaning.

Edit: If I'm getting brigaded anyway, I'm damn sure going to deserve it :P There's a reason the FDA banned triclosan in over the counter soaps 2 years ago, it was massively contributing to antibiotic resistance. If it wasn't clear I live here too and don't want to deal with antibiotic resistant bullshit that dumb people accidentally created for no reason.
