When we were still young, we were always told that we should wash our hands before we eat. I was taught the same things and until now, I am still doing that and I find it really good. Do you still practice these things these days?
I find it really needful now that our surroundings are really polluted. We dont want to be eating those germs found in our hands, do we?

Yes i do wash hands before food. I had been taught at home as a kid. We were not allowed to eat food without washing hands. I still follow what was thought to me.

I could still remember one time when we were eating meals at home and I didnt wash my hands but I just sat their on my seat and started to help myself with the food cause I was really hungry but my father didnt allow me to eat not unless I was my hands. Since then, I make sure I washed my hands before going to the dining table.

Most of the time I do, but it honestly depends on what I've done for the day and what I'm eating. Like, if it's just been a day where I've been home and haven't had much productivity (no cleaning the apartment or anything like that) and I'm eating something that requires a spoon or fork then I honestly don't think about it. ANYTHING that requires me to touch it though, whether it be during actual eating or during cooking I make sure to wash my hands before.

Oh my goodness, I would hope this something that does not require too much thought. It is very important to wash your hands prior to eating and or preparing foods.
Let us think for a second how many times we hand on to hand rails where as someone when to the wash room and neglected to wash their hand and then held on to the same rail.
I know an entire family that OMG, I am astounded, they go to the bathroom and I never hear them washing their hands as they run out of there. I take note to this only because I have seen it too many times. Then I have seen a couple hours later where they dig into food with their bare hands, gross. What I try to do always is dig in first with my utensils of course, before anyone one of them do as if I have to dig in after, well somehow I just am not hungry.
This is one of the reasons I am as skinny as the rail.... LOL

I still wash my hands before eating. I think that it's a good habit that we should not leave it. There are millions of germs that we get on our hands while handling stuffs, si it is necessary to wash our hands. It's better to take some precautions to enjoy good health
