I didn't think it was bad at all. Sure, they could have used gloves, not coughed/sneezed in the food, etc. But how much stuff did you touch walking around, how many people's sweat did you get on/in you at a show, sharing certain "things", soaking up the brown water at the fountain, and you had to have used a portapotty at some point. Did you wear gloves then? I'm thinking the germs in the food were nothing in comparison. Like others have said, we need germs in order to have an immune system. My immune system is crap to begin with, but I ate the food, used the portapotty, no gloves, no hand sanitizer, and I didn't get sick. On the other hand, I didn't enjoy the fountain either.
I was not impressed with the VIP food either. I'm not a vegetarian, but I was NOT thrilled about having 3 different slabs of meat to choose from and cooked carrots. The pesto mozzadillas were yummy. And Biglou kept going back for the gyro booth closest to the centeroo entrance. They looked so good, but I'm allergic to cucumbers.
The VIP food was not so great for veg ppl, either.
I hear the creamed corn was fabulous!
the vip food experience was better if you didnt eat the food as it was intended. so a burger and some spicy rice...mixed together. no bun. or, throw some spicy rice onto the bun with your burger - instant flavor country.
and for the record, i enjoyed the creamed corn and the tots!
i always enjoyed the protein / starch / veg that they laid out. except for those tinned beans or whatever they were. green veg should not look yellow/brown after cooking.

i paid like $6 for a kabob of "jerk ckicken". my husband's was steaming hot and mine was cold. i returned it and he pulled me out a new on from the middle of the pile...which turned out to be just as cold as the first one.
This is funny - my 18 year-old son was a volunteer and I didn't see much of him until we met up to drive home to MA. He asked if I ate in the Veggie Tent in Centeroo and I mentioned that I had a terrific veggie burrito and iced tea. He told me that he was assigned to volunteer at this food tent and was put to work slicing and dicing without washing his hands or putting on gloves! AND - he camped out minus shower and hygiene in a great-unwashed campground!! EEEYOUUUUU.... maybe that's why so many folks are reporting BonnaFlu right now.....

Can't get enough of those Bonnaroo Gyros!!! Came home and had one at one of the major Greek places, not even close. The secret must be in the sweat. ;D
Given the nature of the weekend, there are many unhealthy things going on, enough to keep the food vendors from being at the top of my worries....I'm sure I can't speak for everyone, but if you don't get too retardedly f*cked up and drink plenty of water and vitamens you should make it through the weekend just fine.....I party my ass off every year and have never run into any post-'Roo problems...(knock on wood)
