We are blaming everything on the economic downtown, so why not the upturn in nasty, smelly office refrigerators. A recent study says that 70 percent of employees are now bringing lunch from home at least once a week to save money, but it seems only a small percentage of them are cleaning up afterward or throwing out their leftovers.
The study, by ConAgra and the American Dietetic Association, also found that 44 percent of workplace fridges are cleaned only once a month, and 22 percent are cleaned only once or twice a year. That means two-thirds are not cleaned regularly, and perhaps 100 percent are cleaned less than the restroom toilet seats!
