Q: I don't eat “jhoota” food, not even of my wife and children. I don't share utensils with anybody as well. Sometimes my wife and children ridicule me because of this. I have read that eating from the same plate is not good for one’s health. What is the medical truth of this?

A:The problem that could arise from with sharing utensils or eating together could be spreading of any contagious disease or infection if any of your family members is suffering from. Otherwise only love can spread. So stop worrying & start sharing food with your loved ones.
