A lot of people have contracted diseases like cholera, typhoid and the like in cafeterias.
Cholera, a communicable disease, has claimed so many lives. In most cases, this is the result of patronising cafeterias.
Most times, cafeterias are situated in unhygienic environments and unclean untesils are freely used. The aroma we perceive causes us to ignore the consequences we will suffer.
For instance, a cook battling with catarrh may consciously or unconsciously relieve herself, most times with her bare hands, and forget to wash them. Those who patronise her cafeteria may suffer the consequences.
In some cases, nursing mothers clean up their babies and resume cooking without proper and definite precautions. Not only that, some cooks wash remnants of the seasoning in their hands into the food being prepared. This is certainly not ideal.
Nevertheless, busy students who have early morning lectures and exams, bachelors who cannot cook, men who refuse to eat home-made meals and the like are victims of the “cholera joints” dubbed cafeteria.
Many prefer to buy food rather than prepare it themselves because of time constraints. However, the aftermath of this bad habit may be cholera, typhoid and others.
One needs to be very careful when selecting which cafeteria to eat in. Health, they say, is wealth.
