Hi there, in internet we can buy everything we need, computers, clothes, plushes, costumes, everything! but what about food? i bought a bar of strange kitkat from japan and it will be arrive soon here, but can we trust to eat food bought on internet? i mean, when you buy food you're in the shop, or in the supermarket, you see what you buy and if there is problems you can talk with the owner of the shop. But in internet? Can we trust internet to buy food? Thank you for yuor responses :)

I will buy coffee and such from internet providers but for everyday food I don't think I would. Unless a local store offered a service where I could order and have it delivered or go pick it up I would not use the internet. Maybe not even then. How would I know if the meat was fresh?

Oh, sure. I have bought all sorts of things with no difficulty. I had frozen wheat grass juice sent down from Canada in a container packed with dry ice and Asian noodles and chocolate covered ginger candy among other things. Hey, you are making me hungry!

To a point. I wouldn't order fresh meat in the summer or fresh vegetables from halfway around the world. But certain types of things, candy for example, I would.

I have only brought food for gifts and these have worked out very well. In fact so far I have had no problem dealing on the Internet.

I would buy anything online other than food. I don't know something about buying food online freaks me out. I mean you don't know it its clean, if its healthy, how long its been sitting there ect... i just wouldn't feel safe.
