^I do that stuff too. I'd venture to guess I spend LESS time heaving or dealing with an upset stomach or running to the clinic or hospital than the average bear. No, I'm not going to scoop up a handful of maggot infested beef and cram it in my mouth. But, I will take a sip of milk or whatever that's questionable if it passes the other tests and if it's sour, no big deal, I guess I lived through it.

I know there has been an explosion in things like peanut intolerance and other allergies, and other childhood illnesses. You don't have to be a PIG per se, but on the other hand everything needn't be sterilized or slathered up with anti-bacterial soaps and whatnot. I think one component of the problem is kids don't play in the dirt enough anymore.
