Then both were constantly full. The number of employees did not change. I guess office refrigerators are an example of induced demand.

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.

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?

That doesn't mean I want to eat a warm turkey sandwich and warm yogurt.

So what? Apparently it was marked well so what’s the problem?

It’s literally a bodily fluid. that’s disgusting and likely violates a lot of safety regs. Plus I wouldn’t put my baby’s milk in a collective refrigerator.

Why are you so angry???? It's demented. If you have been lucky and haven't gotten sick, oh yay for you, but why don't you F off if other people want to be more careful.

You are so nasty and it's weird.
