But there are some things it just makes sense to stay away from... Like those mystery meat deli's or some Chinese buffets. Once my son told me he ate some sushi that was on sale in chinatown because it was a day old or expired and I freaked out! He's gotten ill from eating at a local Thai place as well. Just a few things like that to stay away from... LOL
I agree with all of that.....I was thinking more along the lines of some of these food scares - like eggs are bad for you, no they're good for you, etc.
I am very picky about my sushi and the Chinese buffets I go to. Many years ago, as favor to a friend (and a few extra bucks in my pocket) I waitressed at lunch at her Thai restaurant for a couple of months. This woman was so meticulous about hygiene and cleanliness that it bordered on obsessive, especially when she experimented with a buffet for dinner on weekends........I use that experience to base my judgement about eating from ANY buffet.
