One hand washes the other

[gordonzola]

One of the most striking things about the cheese conference takes place in the bathrooms. I think I commented on this last year, but hand washing is epidemic. There were longer lines for the sinks than the toilets. It was noticeably different than the average men's room. It made me proud. These are my fellow food professionals and they take food safety seriously. Unlike many other Americans.

I think I will somehow incorporate hand washing into my next cheese tattoo.

It actually is. Although I don't have a link for it, there's the theory that too much handwashing dries out the skin, creating cracks and more places for germs to hang out, and instead frequent rinsing/drying/moisturizing is the way to go.

Door handles anywhere: the worst.

As for men, if we blithely will put our dicks in someone else's mouth, is it compulsory to wash after merely touching it? I do, but that's because I handle food, and being seen washing my hands is not only being professional but good for my cred.
