It also depends on how many tastes you take. I don't see anything
wrong with taking a clean fork or spoon and dipping into a container and
then eating it. Put the lid back on and where is the contamination? And
I don't see much evidence of this 'food digestion' taking place in food
I have tasted and re-stored. What if I eat half a sandwich, wrap it up
for later....I don't see the digestion, only my old sammie and I would
think that something that actually went deep into my mouth would be
really loaded with digestive enzymes or germs compared to a brief visit
with a fork or spoon that barely touches my mouth parts. I also have the
ahbit of keeping a Nutella jar all for myself and spooning a bit out
when I want. I don't see germs all over or digestion taking place
either. I think that when you place yourself too much in a bubble thqat
you have problems and can't come out of the bubble safely. Kids raised
with fear of germs and no germs or everything sanitized have the worst
problems later in life.
