Food Safety and Your Reaction:

Distrust - A Critical Industry Consideration

The Bald Persons and Hairnets Debate:

A debate on the question of bald persons needing to wear hairnets is going on among some members of the industry. It is quite intriguing to see the debate prolonged to the extent that it has. While many good comments have been made, others leave me wondering. 
Has "the rule" become more important than "the reason behind the rule"? Is anyone concerned about the level of understanding (or lack thereof) in the industry that makes it necessary for such considerations as "one rule for everyone"? If this is the level of understanding that the industry has to work with, and considering that we have more issues than the wearing of hairnets by bald people, what is the real danger faced by the industry?
