Do you thinking nakedness by itself is unsanitary?

I’ve found people can be very fussy when it comes to their food and issues relating to their food.

A discussion on here once had people saying it’s very disgusting to them when their utensils are on the bare table in a restaurant. Different people have different levels of disgust. Utensils touching my table in a restaurant wouldn’t disgust me.

I wouldn’t want naked people, including babies, running around a restaurant. Naked babies do occasionally spout bodily fluids and I don’t want that in a place I’m eating. If it’s my own baby in my own house, she wouldn’t be naked and if she were, so be it, she’s mine and I’m home, not paying for a meal in a restaurant.

In a restaurant setting, yes. A child could easily spread microscopic fecal matter. In which could lie any number of harmful diseases, bacteria etc. Lysteria (I think I spelled it right?) , and conjunctivitis come to mind first.

Then there are normal diseases,viruses, and bacteria. Children are EXTREMELY unsanitary… They may have been playing in the toilet, before touching a table top. YUCK…..

Yes, in a dining out situation. Who would want to sit bare bottomed on a chair where another bare assed person just sat. Ewww. As far as naked babies and toddlers and small children I don’t take offense at that in the least. When my daughter was little she ran around naked in the backyard and played in her kiddie pool. Naked tots and people on the beach is fine, naked people and babies co-mingling bare bottoms on public seating is not.

No. I’d bet it’s quite relative, sanitation-wise.

Not as long as the naked people don’t sit where others might sit. I’m with @Coloma on this. When you sit fecal bacteria is put in contact with whatever you are sitting on whether it’s underwear, a chair or what. It’s a gross thought big time.

Children running around in a restaurant is obnoxious, let alone naked children.

“There was a naked baby running around showing off its butthole.”

I have a hard time believing this, sounds like it was a lie made up by a liar or someone on drugs.

I think it was made up too
Hell the health department would have shut them down if the kids were simply barefoot.

But set the restaurant aside and think about simply being naked. Is that, by itsself, unsanitary?

@rockfan

The business owner herself pretty much confirms it (though she acts indignant that anyone would be bothered by it).

As to the question – at the dining table – yes, absolutely.

If so much fecal material is falling off and out of people’s butts when they’re naked, the same amount would be falling out of their underwear and clothing, so it would still be relative. And your mouth is the dirtiest place on your body, so why be concerned about it??? And who knows where those kid’s hands have been, or if they’ve been washed beforehand…

@kritiper: If the butt has a little poo from being wiped, and the butt is sitting on the vinyl or cloth seat, the little poo smear is going to be on the seat. It’s not enough poo to go through clothing but I don’t want to sit on a seat that the baby’s smeary butt has been touching.

a babies smeary butt LOL What a visual!

In San Francisco, there was a lot of discussion about requiring nudists that go to restaurants having to bring their own town to sit on.

^towel?

Not all poo is sticky when dry…

I wish Dakota had underwear to wear. She’s had diarrhea for three days now. OMG. 90% of it is on the linoleum in the kitchen but the other 10% is on my freaking carpets. We’ve been steam cleaning shit, literal shit, for 3 days. :( :( :( Give me a baby’s slightly poopy butt on a kitchen chair any day.

When I was a teen a friend threw a party, of course, when her parents were gone for the weekend. We parties it up and everyone fed her dog ” Simon” their leftover bean burritos we made, but…nobody remembered to let Simon out before we all crashed from our rum fest. LOL Oh man…poor Simon, he had the runs all over the house during the night on her parents off white carpet. You can only imagine.

We were crawling around scrubbing burrito diarrhea off the carpets with little success retching the whole time with terrible hangovers. haha

Haha @Coloma! That’s a hilarious visual!

I would wonder how they pass any health inspection. I absolutely love babies. But I wouldn’t go to one where there are naked babies running about. At minimum, a customer wants to know that their food and where they sit is somewhat sanitary. Children touch their body parts and then touch other things. I’ve would’ve walked out.
Owner, needs to decide if she is running a daycare or a restaurant. Family style restaurants are great, but the owner should have well behave children. It is also a danger to the children and other people is the children run about and do as they wish. They can bump into servers as they come out with hot plates.

I still think the article was a hoax.

It wasn’t. The business had a Facebook page, until they deleted it, on which the woman ranted like a belligerent ass.

It’s illegal to go into almost any establishment barefooted, especially a restaurant. If it was true, they were breaking so many laws it’s not even funny.

It’s not illegal to go into any establishment barefoot, it’s just that most won’t serve you if you are. Besides, even if it were that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

Why, so it is! Coolness! (I never understood the issue with bare feet, though.)
I still think the the Health Department would have enough issues with it to take some action.

“I still think the the Health Department would have enough issues with it to take some action.”

Certainly, but how does that = hoax?

It’s just my opinion. People in American would be INSANE to own a restaurant and let their own kids run around period, much less naked and climbing on tables.

Waiting for something to show up on a fact check site. I’ll go look again.
