Newly elected Sen. Thom Tillis held a Q&A at the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington D.C. on Monday where he said that restaurants should be able to opt out of the hand washing safeguards that are in place after an employee uses the bathroom.

There are a lot of reasons to wash hands when it comes to food prep, but we wondered what the other side of the argument had to say about the idea, as well.

We can only imagine the benefits this can have on the economy and health insurance industry after countless people go to the hospital with food poisoning. Currently, only 1 in 6 people gets food poisoning each year, and I think with Mr. Tillis' help, we can significantly increase those numbers.
