6 Gross Food Habits To Drop In 2010

I only do double-dipping if I'm not sharing with anybody. The rest is common sense!

Dear Yahoo user you do not pass on AIDS ...it is HIV that is passed on and as for passing on the virus through saliva..hmm. Your Mother taught 'good table manners' but she clearly neglected making sure that you got a proper education. Soooo sad!

well, first of all, it's not BAD for the digestion to wolf down your food. That's just nonsense. Ever see a pack of predators slowly eating their kill? Doubtful. Be that as it may, humans evolved at some point to be at the top of the food chain, and it probably didn't happen with slow, careful eating. I think it feels perfectly natural to scarf, wolf, or inhale your food--especially if you are hungry and need to get your blood sugar up. It can also be extremely satisfying. But maybe not when your mother and law is at the table.

I LIKE ketchup, and lots of it. You don't like it, don't look. I don't double dip, or chew with my mouth open, or shovel food in my mouth, or eat food with my fingers, or EVER eat without washing my hands. But dammit, I LIKE my burgers and hot dogs with tons of ketchup. So stay outta my face while I'm eating them. If you're so close that it bothers you, you're probably invading my personal space, and that'll get you a smack upside the head anyway!

Sorry to break it to you all that rely on Mythbusters for your education, but more that 50 percent of their calculations and results of their experiments are wrong.
I say enjoy your food there is already enough crap in the world to worry about, if it bothers someone that I put pounds of salt and ketchup on my fries so what, I'm not forcing anyone to watch me eat or anyone else to eat it, if you don't like it move to another table that's what I do.

i agree with most of the article including the condiment one to an extent when u put so much ketchup or mustard on your food that it dripping off your chin and getting all over everything thats time to say no otherwise knock yourself out...and yes i have seen people do this at fast food restuarants and it does ruin my appetite..the slogan i think was if it doesnt get all over the place it doesnt belong in your face is just wrong

Brian I agree with you, although I wasn't in the military but I was a paramedic on a ambulance for 7 years. We always ate fast because it was a guarantee that as soon as we've put food in your mouths we would get a call or someone would approach our ambulance for something and our lunch would get interrupted, so everytime we were given our lunch time we would get all paranoid and eat our food as quick as we could so that when we got the call we've already finished our food. Well, I have been out of the field for about 3 years and I can't seem to break that habit, I still buy and eat my whole meal in less than 30 min.

If I happen to be a bit annoyed with one of my guests at the many parties that I throw, I simply spit on their plate and stir the glop around in their food when I'm preparing things in the kitchen. No one is the wiser. If I really want to get even, I visit the toilet and bring back a small sample of the brown stuff, well-hidden in a piece of toilet paper. Then, at the right moment, I mix it in with their food (it usually goes best with dark colored items, sauces,or gravies)and serve it to them with a smile.

At first, they don't notice a thing, but later, as the evening wears on, they begin to experience stomach and intestinal pain that progressively gets worse until they want to vomit. I help them to the bathroom, but I'm discreet enough to save some of the vomit and then use it to mix into the food of another guest who has irritated me that evening. Some people leave my parties not understanding why they feel so sick, but the majority just have a grand old time. The moral to the story is . . . . . don't get on my bad side or I'll give you something to be really upset about and you won't even know where you picked it up. Try these tips next time you're upset with your guests and you'll feel better after it's all over. Maybe, they won't even want to return to your house for future parties, and that's allright too because the whole idea to these fun pranks it to eliminate these folks from your life alltogether. Have a good time and, as always, watch what you eat.

People are too concerned with others habits. I love eating with my fingers. My fingers, my plate so mind your own business. If I want to drown my food in condiments yet again my plate my business mind your own. lol Now I am all for eating with your mouth closed. I dont want to see food in your mouth being mutilated...then again I can choose not to look at you!

Ah, go fuck yourself.

this is the dumbest article I have ever read, ethnocentric and useless.

My resolution is to ignore all the BS you have or will write in 2010.

Overdosing on condiments is a gross habit? Oh come now I could think of ALOT grosser things than slathering ketchup on my fries. This sounds more like a lecture then an informative or fun article.

I agree with KellieF different people/cultures do different things.Some friends from India asked me over for dinner and thought I was strange for asking for a fork,they use fingers and flat bread.These people that tell us what and how to eat should stop watching us and pay attention to themselves.I guess it makes them feel important.

Yeah double dipping should be taken off,along with the condiments. I dont do either but double dipping doesnt harm anyone,its not even gross. And whos to tell someone what tastes good to them?

I can't stand cold eggs for breakfast, so I do tend to eat them rather quickly. When I'm at home, this is not a problem since I live alone. When I'm in a restaurant, mind your own business -- sometimes there's a good reason to eat something quickly. I'll take my time over the hashbrowns, toast and coffee.

this is not news at all, i eat how i want,keep your mind on your own plate,if you dont like it dont look at it,quit telling me how to live!

Kelli, are you a retard? Who cares what they do in china or in the middle east. Do you live by all their practices. Common sense says you do not dip back into food what has already been in your mouth. It is also simple cleanliness to wash your hands before you place them into areas containing food others will eat. You may be nasty or willing to accept nasty people diningwith you, but most of us are not OK with that. You can call us multi cultural society all you want to , but keep your nasty ass and your nasty ass friends out of the places the rest of us eat. Got what a retard dumb ass you are to even raise issues with what most of normal society deems as proper behavior just because some foriegn people do not do it. But since I know quite a few Asian people, including from China, and they do not place items back into public food that have been in their mouths, not too sure what kind of Chinese people you know but they must be Chinas version of our white trailer trash!

This poor eating behavior is mostly directed towards the youth of today.
I see more and more of these youths eating like nasty fools. Why? I will tell you, but most wont like it.
When I was a kid living with the parents back home, it was always said "kids were seen and never heard". This also went as far as you were told once, maybe twice to stop doing something by your parent and if you continued, then you were knocked across the room.
I remember the time Dad told me, during dinner to set up to the table so not to drop my food on the floor. I did for a few bits and then fell back away again. I ended up flying across the room at the end of his fist.
I am a firm believer in beating an unruly kid.
If my kid was told to do something like stop eating with there mouth open, washup before dinner, carelessly spill food on the floor, eat like a hog then if they dont get it the first time. They will after picking themselfs off the floor.
I know! Child abuse right!!!!
Wrong!!!!
Thats exactly whats wrong with the actions of the youth of today.
Most need a good ass kicking and you wouldnt need to address this poor eating behavior by them.
