I never participate in food exchanges, partly because my child has a deadly nut allergy, partly because [b]I don’t trust what random people bake in their kitchens (more so in times of Covid). [/b]It all seems unappetizing and risky to me.

I volunteered on the PTA for years and logged countless hours at school in the course of my duties.

You’re not getting Covid from Christmas cookies. You’re just a generalized germaphobe. Admit it.[/quote]

DP here.  Point is, people don't have a good gauge on whose house is truly clean, and whose is not.  I have seen people eat something form a gross house (which regularly has a giant dog in the kitchen, to boot) - "BUT it's painted gray and white, so it must be clean!"??  - as opposed to eating something from a genuinely clean house/kitchen. It's just gross, and people don't truly know who is gross, and who is not. [/quote]

Okay so I keep a clean kitchen - I hope! - but aren’t the baked goods cooked? Which would kill off germs? Are you thinking people are mixing mouse poop in with the chocolate chips or something? I don’t really get this concern. [/quote]

Would you be OK with somebody touching the bottom of their feet, cleaning out the cats litter box and then cooking? It gets cooked off, after all. That would bother me. If it doesn’t bother you, that’s your prerogative but I think the vast majority of people would think that’s gross. Likewise, handling raw eggs and then baked cookies it’s not safe food practices, or maybe they’re not washing their hands after handling food between food. My neighbor, who has a swanky high-paying job, “nice house” is so gross in the kitchen that I almost threw up once from watching how she operated. I just don’t trust people enough to eat random food and teachers shouldn’t either.[/quote]
