[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People would actually complain about this?  I'm in a playgroup with a bunch of toddlers - who arguably would have weaker immune systems etc than older kids - and a few of the parents have brought cut-up fruit etc.  We all loved it!  Who in the world would be like DONT EAT THAT, IT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN WASHED!?!?!?  F'ing crazy parents.[/quote]

Raises hand: I would because some people aren't as careful about cleanliness and food safety. For example, their house might be clean, kitcehn might be clean but they might not wash their hands before handling food or they will wash their hands and on the way to cutting the fruit have no problem petting their dog or cat etc... I just don't need the headaches of worrying about it.[/quote]

I'm always reading about those little league teams and toddler birthday parties where everyone gets poisoned by dirty apples and dog hair. It's a national crisis.  [/sarcasm][/quote]

Let me make it a bit more clear. Some people are just nasty and I don't someone who is nasty touching my food. I am not a germaphobe in general but some people are just, well, nasty. Will my child be "poisoned" no, of course not, she will be fine, but I still think it is nasty. Just like I didn't wipe the shopping card with wipes or put any cover on the shopping cart at the grocery store but I did discourage her from licking the shopping cart handle (which she seemed to enjoy for some reason). She lived but it was still gross.

Why you felt the need to add the word "sarcasm" is beyond me. It was clear that that was your attempt at sarcasm.  [/quote]
