If this news doesn't get you off fastfood, don't know what will

Don't get me wrong, inspection agencies should be real nazis when it comes to hygene. Expiration dates should be the eleventh comandement and every cook should present himself/herself to every patron*.

But being afraid to go out just because you're affraid that someone else would touch your food is arogant at best, thinking everyone else is incompetent when it comes to handling meals.

*unpractical yes, I just added it for dramatic purpouses

Also spot on.

Can't really disagree with that.

I would dine in all the time, but I trust the cook here even less than the ones at fast food places. The voices in my head keep telling me he's evil.

I doubt fast food is prepared any less than safer than the normal household, they're probably cleaner than the average home cook these days..

That being said, I use to do in house work for the factory that makes chicken nuggets.....all the leftover junk and skin all ground up. Heck, see it dumped and shoveled into the bins with people coughing and snorting. Heck, watched a guy one day removing his little mask to hock up snot and spit it right next to where he was working and put his shovel in it. They keep it cold as a frig in the working factory and seems damn near everyone in there has a cold. I guess long as they cook it...but I haven't ate any since that day...

I'd say that's a step up from the evil back talk.

I used to work on time clocks and hood suppression systems and I've been in KFC kitchens where you could literally skate on the oily floor and I've serviced time clocks where the carcasses of roaches fell out when I removed the cover and I've serviced range hoods that put the unk in Funk. But, then again, I served in the military where you get to eat out in the woods with dirty hands. The only time I ever got sick was when the mess section forgot to wash a lister bag that we were getting our water from. Military mess halls are among the cleanest places I've ever worked or dined in. They even go as far as caulking around every nook and cranny that a roach could hide in.
If you're scared of germs, never ever dine out or eat food that's served luke warm or cold.

QFT on the mess halls.

I occasionally do security for restaurant chains at night when they have to be unlocked after dark for renovations, plumbing, retile, and oven vent steaming etc. These are national chain establishments. I do not dine at any of them; Unless they adhere strictly to the Ten Second Rule

When I was riding on the city squads, most of our daytime calls were at grocery stores and restaurants.

Each one of us had a list of restaurants we would not go to eat. Deep down we knew that all restaurants were the same, but not making a call on a specific restaurant gave us plausible deny-ability.

It is a good thing the human digestion system is as strong as it is and can handle massive amounts of bacteria.

So fast food or traditional joint. They are all filthy.

At least with fast food, there is a good chance the food is not left laying as long as it is in a more traditional place.

I have my patented weight loss plan. Find the food you really have weakness for and go to where that food is prepared/processed. It works.

I remember in high school we took a field trip to an egg processing facility in our town. I love eggs. I could not eat an egg for about 2 years after that visit.

Many citizens are happy with their food because they have no idea how it is prepared.

I think it is true that most illness in fact comes from home cooked food. A common mistake is to blame what was last eaten. In fact it takes around 12 hours for food born illness to start giving you problems.

So it is really what was consumed several hours ago often that is not the last food eaten. It may be the first to get projectile vomited but not the culprit. Most awsome are Rice Crispies my daughter chucked those once I could not eat them for month after that.
