Do you know where your food comes from?

Do you know who is preparing your food??

For many months now since this particular franchise was offering a sandwich and a cup of java for a reasonable price, many of us have been patronizing the outlets nearest to us. And since these are just franchises, the food is presumably centrally prepared and then sent to the outlets.

Ever give a thought about the places preparing the food that is being sold? Are they like, preparing the food next to the toilet or rubbish chutes? Are the workers practicing personal hygiene? Or are they the ones who may be having flu like symptoms and still working? Wiping their runny nose with the back of their hands and then touching the food during preparations?

I ask this because today, one of my colleagues ordered a sandwich, brought it back to the office and just as she was about to take a bite, noticed that the "raisin" looked a little hairy!! Before she brought it back to that outlet, I took some shots so that I can share this with you.By the way, that outlet gave her a voucher for any drinks - no limit on the cost stated. Is that all they are doing? Should they or are they even going to review their food preparations??

Your guess is as good as mine.
