“Researchers suggest”
The sad part is someone was paid research grant money, probably more than 5 year’s salary for you and me
That's what I thought too. Uh...I find the suggestion that somebody actually does believe it more than a little disturbing...
I got two dogs...
...sometimes, the food doesn’t even hit the floor before they get to it.
I don’t care how long its on the floor or the table in Britain, its not fit to eat anyway.
Seriously. It’s a frickin’ joke. You’d have to be stone cold stupid to think it was a “rule.” And even stoopider to research it.
If you don’t have bacteria in your body, I hate to tell you, you’re dead.
Yup. The old Federal government, “shrimp on a treadmill” routine.
On the other hand, I often see articles saying we are too clean nowadays. We wash our hands so often, so thoroughly, enough to strip away the ‘good bacteria’ that should be there.
I know of people who eat yogurt specifically to replace the ‘good bacteria’ in their stomachs that will aid peristalsis, or food breakdown of digestion.
Meh. . Confuseious say:
Many a drop is spilt,
Twixt the cup & the lip. :o)
An unpeeled banana can go as long as 30 seconds.
Friend who served in Afghanistan said the rule for American soldiers there is if it leaves your plate you do not eat it. Lots of serious diseases are common there.
I remember “Kissing it up to God” when I was a kid. LOL
We’re all going to DIE!
Of course we used to drink water from puddles too.
As the item falls, I yell “wax paper”.

Silly me. I thought this was a basketball thread related to how long you could remain in the key area.
I saw the headline, and I thought “They are worried about the Three-Second-Rule? When travelling and double dribbling are pretty much ignored at the NBA level and is selectively enforced below that?”
I would not have guessed the article was about dropped food. Get a rat terrier or similar and dropped food will NOT be an issue.
Myhthbusters already did this. Their results were that if it was “wet” food don’t eat it. If it was dry not a big deal.
