#and avoiding cross contamination wrt raw meat
Text
Okay, how ridiculous are the comments on food shorts on FB? Literally any time a girl with false nails is making something, half the comments are about how gross she is. For...making food with long nails???
Or the people who tell girls (even without false nails) to wear gloves when they're cooking. If they don't they're disgusting and nobody should ever eat their food. Literal 🤮emojis.
Who in the actual fuck wears gloves to cook at home? How do they think women with false nails eat or feed their families? Gloves and short, polish-free nails are only necessary if you're working in a commercial/industrial environment. Because you're exposed to a wide variety of germs, you're preparing food for a longer period of time, there's a much greater risk of cross contamination and you don't want to endanger the public.
Are there actual people these days who legit put on gloves to cook for themselves in their own homes???
#the idea that people are attempting to create near sterile environments in their own homes#and see this as not only normal but disgusting if you don't also do the same#is honestly disturbing to me#going overboard like this is a recipe for breeding superbugs#follow general food safety rules like proper cooking times and thawing procedures#keeping your hands and surfaces clean#and avoiding cross contamination wrt raw meat#but for the love of god don't try to eliminate every single microbe#it's perfectly fine to prep food with your bare hands#use antibacterial cleaners sparingly and only where necessary#such as bathrooms and surfaces that come into contact with raw meat#clean your hands properly with soap and water#understand that a degree of bacteria is normal and healthy to be exposed to#and attempting to create near sterile conditions within your home only serves to kill off the weakest bacteria#while allowing stronger varieties to survive and breed - creating shit that's resistant to treatment#food safety procedures within your home and within restaurants or factories are quite different for very good reasons#if we applied the same standards in the home as we do in commercial/industrial environments we'd have a lot more serious issues#than some herbs under some girl's fingernails#they're regular people showing off some recipes you can also make at home#chill the fuck out
