Buffet Anyone?

Some of you may know but I have issues with food being left out for much time at all. Take a buffet for instance. Ever watch people at a buffet? Most hover over the food and contemplate what they want to load up on their saucer. Back to my problems after I point out:

how funny it is to see people spend so much time deciding on what to load then heading back to their table. It's a buffet! You can return as many times as you want. It would do you good to get a little exercise making an extra trip or two PLUS you can eat more as you burn energy going back and forth. Don't worry about time, you will gain that back by not spending so much time pondering you decisions.

Anyways, my issues are the amount of breathing and talking that goes on over my potential meal. There are full on conversations going on while they choose their round one feast. Think about all the spit that flies out. Think about all the food particles (especially if they back after round one) that fly out of their mouth. As you load up, you are sharing the food they have already crunched up and carrier back from their table. I'm getting sick just thinking about it.

Now start to think all the air particles and what is flying around. Just take a look at the air quality when a ray of sunshine comes into the room. I do realize that when you breath in you are taking in these same particles.

One last comment about something I read this morning. There is a restaurant that has now starting charging customers $2.00 for food left on their plate at buffets. It's simple take only what you will eat, if not you will be charged. This is their attempt to reduce the amount of food waste. Now think of this........if they don't want food waste, what do you think they do with all that food left over after the end of the day left on the buffet table? You got it, I can bet that it goes back into the smorgasbord the next day!
