One quote that stuck out to me was:
"Moreover, most gloves are made of latex, a component of natural rubber. Particles of latex can cause allergic reactions not only among people wearing the gloves but also among customers eating food prepared by them. As a result, three states have banned latex gloves in restaurants. In New York a bill has been introduced in the Legislature requiring warning signs in restaurants that use latex gloves." |
Kathy, thanks for that and I liked the article, but most food places don't use latex gloves. I don't really think I've been to eat anywhere where latex gloves were being used. I usually see the clear gloves being used. I'm not sure what kind they are though. I know that some people can have an allergic reaction to the chemicals used on the gloves, but would you rather eat that, or bacteria found in feces and urine?
