As some of you may know, I'm a chopsticks kind of person. But I'm aware that alot of people do not know the dangers of reusing the wooden chopsticks.
If you happen to have a chance; you can try to soak disposable chopsticks (usually they gave you when you order takeaway) for 3 to 5 minutes in hot water, and you will see bleach detergent dissolved in the hot water from the chopsticks.
If you can prepare your own chopsticks at your office, it's not only environmental friendly and it's for your own good.
Almost majority of disposable chopsticks are made in and imported from china. Before the production, the raw materials itself already is grown with germs that are in multiple colors (fungus), and the first process was to put in chemicals to preserve the materials then after that they are washed with bleach (which are believed to be thousands times over the standards). And guess what? These chemicals could cause cancer, Carcinogen.
So take care of yourselves, and be careful.
