of transparency and hygiene

tristan and i were having a discussion the night before last.

i asked, "if you were a paying customer in a restaurant, do you have the right to demand to see their kitchen?"

he said no.

"but," i argued, "you always have the prerogative to see the conditions where your food is being prepared! you put it in your body, after all."

"i don't think it's being done, love." was his reply.

"if, however..." i stubbornly continued, "... you were denied entry to the kitchen, would you be suspicious?"

he laughed.
