Well, I didn't exactly say send your kids with warm food and hope for
the best. I just don't think it's as huge a risk as modern people make
it. I even let my kids eat cookie dough! Not data, just an example,
but my husband will eat a cheese stick that was in our eldest son's
backpack all day, he has far fewer stomach problems than I do, and he's
willing to eat foods that I would toss. Every single child I knew
growing up survived the various sandwiches, salads, eggs, etc in their
lunches. The only kids I know who died, did so in accidents. I just
think we are overly sterile as a society now.

Ranee
