Synopsis:
A rollicking yet rigorous inquiry that follows the science of germs into the kitchen, restaurant and everywhere else you eat and drink.
Did You Just Eat That? provides the answers to perennial questions about food and germs, such as whether electric hand dryers spread fewer germs than paper towels or about picking a crisp off the ground within five seconds of dropping it.
The authors show how they have determined everything from how much bacteria gets transferred from sharing utensils to how many microbes live on restaurant menus. They list their materials and methods, guide the reader through their results and offer explanations of food safety and microbiology. Written with humour, this fascinating book reveals surprising answers to the weirdest and most commonly debated questions about food and germs.
About the Author: Paul Dawson is a professor at Clemson University whose work has been featured on NPR, CNN, Headlines News, and MSNBC, among other media outlets. He lives in Clemson, South Carolina.

And yet there has never been a book that clearly examines the science behind these important issues%u2014until now.

Written with candid humor and richly illustrated, this fascinating book will reveal surprising answers to the most frequently debated%u2014and also the weirdest%u2014questions about food and germs, sure to satisfy anyone who has ever wondered: should I really eat that?
