Right after each meal, we touch things constantly - door knobs, shoes, coins and paper monies, computer keyboards, watch - everything within our reach, which means germs are accumulated in our hands before the next meal. So in order to protect my self from these germs and viruses, have to wash my hands before taking foods again.

Deffinitely because i don#t eat with fork and spoon but with hand. So I never forget to wash my hands before having meals.

I constantly have my hands in water during the day. If not washing them I'm washing dishes. So yes I do make sure my hands are clean before every meal. Its just a habit that I acquired as a child. When we would come in from playing for lunch or dinner it was a rule to wash our hands before sitting down.
