Amen to you, Tom.
I love the analogy regarding use of the rubber gloves. It's not crude, but
rather, it's true and realistic.
But regarding using gloves, if you feel to need to use gloves for the reason
Heidi stated, you could use those thin plastic bag sounding ones. With
those gloves, I think you could still feel the texture of the food you are
working with.

yes, Tom, I agree with you but there are some who will never find it
acceptable and can not get themselves to do it. I do not usually use
gloves, but do when I have a cut or scrape on my hand when cooking for
others, for obvious reasons
It is a good option rather than a spoon, because that just does not work
effectively! :)

Many blind people have a problem putting their hands in food. Good gave us
hands for a purpose. Getting your hands in the food is the only way that
you
can tell if your ingredients are mixed together properly. I have used
rubber
gloves many times. I don't like them. A dermotolgist that I saw said it
this
way. "This means that if you use the gloves, you are blind with your
hands."
This is a little crude, but it makes the point.
To anyone who is afraid to put his or her hands in the food, do it and
don't
feel imbarrassed. As long as you thoroughly wash your hands before and
after
you prepare the food, you will be fine.
