#just saw something saying you shouldn't cut meat on wood cutting boards and thought that seemed fishy with no context and I guess it was
#plastic is not a magically more foodsafe material.....
#also theoretically you can sand down an old cut up wood board
#and in my food service experience those plastic boards get all rough and cut up sooo fast
#and like they're put in soapy water and sanitizer so it's fine
#but it doesn't seem like it would be an inherently safer food prep surface in any way
