Eating in the truck....heres why...
Here is a good example of why some of us eat in the truck....It is NOT because we are poor! These are fast food restraunts but I am sure truckstops are just as bad or worse.
10. Taco Bell 91 critical violations including dirty food preparation counters and rodent droppings.
9. McDonalds 136 critical violations including not having a certified food handler on the job as required in many states.
8. KFC 157 critical violations incidents include salmonella poisoning, according to the health department report at one location.
7. Subway 160 critical violations including a recurring problem with improper food holding temperatures.
6. Jack in the Box 164 critical violations including several complaints of food-borne illness at a Ventura, CA, location.
5. Dairy Queen 184 critical violations including citations for grime, debris and inaccurate thermometer.
4. Hardees 206 critical violations including repeated violations for the presence of insects and rodents.
3. Wendys 206 critical violations including food holding temperatures, mice droppings and bare hand-food contact.
2. Arbys 210 critical violations including improper hand-washing and employees handling ready-to-eat foods with their bare hands.
1. Burger King 241 critical violations including improper hand-washing, uncovered food in the refrigerator, and grime and debris found on the ice chute.

I won't eat at any of those places. It's all preservatives and sugar. Flavored chemicals. I also won't eat at chain restaurants (Applebys,Outback,Olive garden etc.)most of the time, sometimes I'll make exceptions. (gift cards, birthdays etc.)
I like to find the mom and pops and keep the money local. If I'm really hungry I'll stop at a convenience store and grab some fruit.

Lymme truck stop. Tea tastes of washing up liquid and the bacon died of natural causes in old age! Nuff said.

One of the things the last company I worked for did research on was germs. I could go on and on but one thing to keep in mind about that fruit you bought at the local store.
Unless you boil it for 20 minutes, you cannot be guaranteed it is free of germs.

We need some germs for good health. I saw something on one of the news shows a while back that has a segment on germs. They basically said that we spend so much time trying to kill germs that we aren't building up an immunity to many of them. Out body needs some germs so that we can build up our immune systems to fight them.

Hate to admit it but I'll bet the bottom of my cooler in the truck has more violations than ALL of those listed put together Probably most of us have food stored in our trucks in a way that would be a violation to the health department.

Out of how many stores?........couple of thousand I guess :roll:
Don't care much for any of those mentioned, like I said, I will sit and be served first.
Been eating out on the road for 30 years, and still alive.
