I mean really.
Stupidity and ignorance in its highest form that is how.
((The Other People)) have done a fantastic job of scaring the living daylights out of everyone in the country when it comes to food safety.

I have seen so many people wash their dishes in hot soapy water rinse them in hot water and then put them in the dish washer.
I ask them why and they say so they will be sterilized.

Really, for one they aren't sterilized and most people have their hot water set way low anyway even if they had it on the highest setting it wouldn't sterilize anything.
I am also amazed at how the news media still touts the BS about how mayonnaise and butter left out will give you food poisoning.

Now I have to go out get the skillet I let the wild pet possum eat out of, rinse it out with hot water put it on the stove and heat it up to kill any germs.
