Here's why it's so important:
* Germs: Our hands touch countless surfaces throughout the day, picking up germs like bacteria and viruses.
* Food Contamination: These germs can easily transfer to our food, especially when we handle it with our hands.
* Illness: Eating contaminated food can lead to various illnesses, from mild food poisoning to more serious infections.
Washing your hands before dinner is a simple and effective way to protect yourself and others from getting sick.
