Depends which kind of food, the floor in my house is pretty clean but I mean if I drop spaghetti I'm not eating that but if it's like a chip or popcorn, etc. I'll just eat it I don't really care. My immune system is not weak so I am fine
I'm not the kind of person who can afford to waste food either, but i'd rather be starving than ill with some unknown disease
Summary It's okay to eat off the floor if it's: Chips cookies donuts popcorn skittles pretzels chocolate Not good if it's spaghetti soup eggs chicken So basically if it is food that is classified as junk food which is bad for you anyway, it's okay to eat it if it drops on the floor. (especially if no one sees you). If it is food that is classified as good for you then it's not okay to eat it off the floor. This holds true only if you are poor and/or thinking of the starving people of the world, then you MUST eat it. The only thing that will save you from eating it is, if it fell on the bathroom floor! You can always refer back to this post if you get confused, but you will have to speedread or you won't make the "5 Second" limit.
i don't understand the point here. are there any supernatural forces which would make the food unclean just after 5 seconds ?? if one can have it in 5 seconds.. so y not 10 seconds ??
They gave the Nobel Peace Prize to someone who proved that the five second rule is okay? Is it just me or should we be putting more money than that into science?
