Why is safety in the kitchen important?

Well, for starters you probably don't want someone who has just being finger painting, picking up dog poo, petting a stray cat and hasn't washed there hands cooking your food. Keeping good hygiene in the kitchen is important so that you don't get food poisoning or another disease carryed on by bacteria or animals. You should keep your kitchen safe so you or other people don't get hurt. You also want to keep it safe so the kitchen doesn't burn down or anything like that....
