Except when they come in direct contact with the food, isn't washing hands after going to the bathroom and before cooking enough?

Notice how often you touch your lips and the area under your nose. For most people, it's pretty often.

This is true. However, touching your face makes you look uncertain. So it is probably a good idea (as a simple social hack) to stop touching your face.

Then here's some more boring advice:

  • Learn to use eating utensils and napkin properly.

  • Avoid touching your face.

It's probably better to just wash them anyway so you don't have to plan out whether you'll be touching bread and fruits or not.
