So have any communities required residents who will cook to get their Food
Handler's Card (or whatever your state calls it)?  In Oregon, it's a
fairly easy thing to do, and the information is mostly what I would
consider common sense.  But, from experience in many areas of my life, I
know that what seems like "common sense" to me isn't necessarily common at
all (and vice versa, my husband would say ;-). 

With alfalfa sprouts being the latest e. coli carrier, I'm more concerned
about this than ever.
