    Wrong. Skin has FAR more crevices than gloves, has more bacteria naturally on it, and has literal body fluid coming off of it.

    If you think skin is as sanitary as gloves, you are a moron who knows nothing of basic germ theory or the foggiest idea of how gross biology is.

      I know I can just wash my hands and be clean enough to handle food! It’s my job after all. This actually isn’t the first time I’ve been challenged by someone quoting all kinds of irrelevant scientific concepts: once I said you can wash veg in cold tap water (which is true where we live!) and this young squirt piped up going on about stillwater, breaking surface tension, bacteria… the knowledge apparently isn’t worth much without real world experience!

        You can cite “conventional wisdom” all you want.

        It will NEVER. EVER make skin less germ-prone than a fresh glove. Obstinance doesn’t make you right. It makes you a fool.

          Well, for one thing, I’m citing the opposite of conventional wisdom, and for the other thing, I’m not saying hands are more or less germ-prone than fresh gloves; I’m arguing the opposite, namely, that they’re as clean as each other. You should really pay attention before being such a sarky cunt.

            They are, in fact, NOT “as clean as each other”. That is stupid and what I said still directly refutes that stupid thought.

              For handling food, they certainly are as clean as each other! Unless you think gloves magically repel dust and so on while sitting in the open box on the kitchen shelf?

                Again, you are only demonstrating how withered and underdeveloped your idea of germ theory is…

                Do you think germs live well on a mostly sterile surface that contains no food or biological material? Or literally ON biological material?

                You’re not even making arguments about how the food itself can be contaminated, or that behavioral patterns can make the glove harder to notice when it gets dirty. No… they’re just equivalent… fucking pathetic thought process, there bud.

                  That you’ve just washed? Nope! On a glove that’s been worn so long it’s got shite all over it? Yep!

                    Cherry picking to sound smart. Besides, your hand is literally biology that can not only absorb chemicals, put puts off chemicals of its own. You’re just plain wrong, and your obstinance is pathetic.
