Food Trucks

I know it's irrational to have a fear of consuming food prepared in a food truck, but there you have it.

I have never ever purchased food from a street vendor. You know, the hot dog guy or the lady selling tamales or the guy peddling shaved ice on a hot summer's day. I have never ever patronized them.

Never been tempted to try.

My immediately wanders to when was the last time they washed their hands? And, where ARE the bathroom facilities? No one. No one can spend hours on the street without needing to use the bathroom. So where do they go and what's done with the food cart when they're preoccupied?

See what I mean? I can't get beyond these questions. The same thought pattern applies to food trucks. How sanitary are they? How well refrigerated is the food? Is one person in charge of food preparation and another strictly handling currency? You know money is the filthiest thing we handle.

Enlighten me. Am I irrational or can you see my point of view?
