If you cast your net wide enough, you find that many restaurant menus warn of the danger from undercooked eggs, meat and poultry...the understanding is that one is free to order steak tartare or an egg decently sunny-side-up, but the restaurant is absolved from blame if it makes you sick..r

suffocate children."
