Default Lemons in your drinks

Think about this next time you ask from a lemon wedge for your drink.

well this made me think a bit. i guess the things i do at home don't apply at resturants. for instance, (except for bananas), when i buy any other fruit, i wash it with hot water before i eat it. this should remove some of the "items" found on the outer peel.

and it is true, if you notice, all resturants have in the bathrooms, signs that read, "all employee's must wash hands"..........

how many employee's have you witnessed NOT WASHING HANDS.....???

i know i've seen quite a few of them over the years.

no wonder why Hepatitus and anything else can be caught at resturants.........

even the local donut shop...............

I am still skeptical;

You would think that the citric acid from the lemon or lime would kill off the bacteria? Plus when have you heard of anyone getting sick from lemons? I could see if you were sucking on the rind but this is another news SCARE tactic.

"Coming up Lemons, Could they Kill you"?
"Tune in at 11:00 to find out"?

Germs help build a stronger immune system, eat your lemons and enjoy your drink.

think of it this way since you are "still skeptical"...........

someone who hasn't washed his (or her) hands.............

someone who hadn't washed the cutting board, before slicing the fruit........

now, take these (at least) two instances, where they are now handling the fruit....

the fruit juice gets onto the fingers....

the fruit is placed onto the rim of the glass,, or in some cases, dropped into the glass...........

the fruit juice that is still on the finger tips of that person, now picks up another slice of the fruit, fingers wet mind you, gripping the rind of the fruit, where the bacteria is present.......

putting that next slice of tainted fruit onto the rim of yet another glass..........


although different, same "passing on of bactieria to someone".....THIS.....

you go to a bar, there is a bowl of peanuts on the bar. you scop up some and eat them.....normal.....right....??

NOW, someone, ANYONE, goes to the bathroom. does his or her "business".........doesn't wash hands.....

scoops up some of those peanuts from the same bowl you are.....

do you think you're NOT getting bactieria then....?????

proper food preperation applies at home AS WELL AS when you're at any eatery.....
