Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Health Food safety Cutting Boards Re: colored cuttingboards

[R Philip Dowds (rpdowds]

I've been eating and cooking for lo nearly seven decades, and in that time have 
had exactly one problem with food — which came from a lukewarm (un-boiled) cup 
of coffee in India.  While I'm loathe to hint that maybe my standards of 
sanitation are inadequate, a lot of this fussing over germicides or whatever 
seems directed at solving problems that have never affected me, my family, my 
friends, or my dinner guests.
