Why do you have to use the office fridge for food you’ll eat today?

according to who? Because that's total BS

But I also don't eat certain foods at room temperature. My employer provides a large fridge for me to store my lunch and that's what I do. If you don't like it, that is a you problem.

The USDA. Maybe read the thread?

Yet, generations upon generations have survived not following that dumb recommendation. I also don't care about expiration dates. i know when the food went bad.

How do you know? Just because you’ve done something stupid your whole life doesn’t mean everyone else has been.

I know because I'm not dumb like you and think that 2 hour window applies to absolutely every perishable food that ever existed. Humanity wouldn't have survived is that was the case.

Sorry that you’re wrong and can’t admit it.

I'm not wrong. You're just too dumb to know.

Yes. That’s why all public health recommendations contradict what you say. Because you’re smarter than everyone else. Definitely.

OP, why are you using the office fridge for anything you won’t eat or drink today given the limited space?

Do you realize that some of us come from places outside of this country and follow different recommendations? Do you realize they are making an overly conservative recommendation to cover their ass? Do you realize that until this past century people would leave cooked food sitting on the table all day and there was no such thing as refrigeration? Do you realize how dumb you sound?

I don't want to have to remember to bring food in every day and realistically I don't have time to prepare it every morning. So having 4 cheese sticks, 2 yogurts, a few pieces of fruit, and drinks helps me to be able to eat at work without spending a ridiculous amount of money or relying on candy bars.

On a more serious note, I have never read such an inane take. Some foods can go bad in a few hours and need to be kept cold. Not everyone wants to lug ice packs during their commute. Fridge is perfect cool place to store until lunch. Why would anyone care that people put lunches in the fridge?

No food is going to actually go bad in a climate controlled office over 4-5 hours. I assume nobody is bringing raw chicken for lunch. if you are that is a whole different conversation.

OTOH some people may just prefer as a taste matter to have their stuff chilled. that’s understandable.

Girl, no

I don’t know what to tell you. Your PB&J can survive out of the refrigerator. otherwise all school children would be dead.

PB&J is not a perishable food. Your ham sandwich is.

I guess I’m dead because I spent 5 years bringing a turkey or ham sandwich and yogurt to work without refrigerating them. baby carrots too!

The fact you got lucky doesn’t mean it’s safe. I’ll trust the people whose job it is to study these things, not strangers on the internet.

If you can’t tell the difference between extremely conservative public health recommendations for commercial kitchens and common sense … I do not know what to tell you. I’ve never gotten food poisoning from a turkey sandwich I made at 7 and ate at noon.

Extremely conservative recommendations for bag lunches too:

https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and-preparation/food-safety-basics/keeping-bag-lunches-safe

What's funny of course is that your are far more likely to die from eating well-refrigerated lettuce with e.coli than die from a 5hr turkey sandwich in your lunch bag.

Yeah, and you’re even more likely to die from the e.coli infected lettuce if you let it sit 2 hrs at room temp. You don’t know when your food is inadvertently contaminated. That’s partly why you refrigerate it. To reduce the risk. This is not difficult.

how long do you think lettuce sits out in the field? It must be exhausting to be you. Do you eat brie at room temperature or does it have to be 40 degrees and waxy?

That’s fine as long as you’re not taking up more than your fair share of the fridge.

PP is dead because she ate a piece of salami that was out of the fridge for 121 minutes.

Still alive. And still following actual public health advice that’s been consistent for close to a century. If you don’t “believe in it,” you’re welcome to find a scientific journal that will publish your study that proves otherwise.

Using a communal fridge is just soooo gross anyway.
