I used to care a bit, check expiration dates, not leave food out, wash hands, etc.

Since covid though I built up a habit of constantly washing hands, hand sanitizer, smelling all my food, avoiding touching stuff in public, still wipe grocery stuff like milk jug handles, etc.

Besides covid itself, I had bad experiences in 2020 with food quality becoming extremely poor. Even canned food would be made out of fermented tomatoes. If something fresh was in stock it was moldy and gross. Food still isn't that great and I don't really trust it now.
