Parents, do you think it would be okay for your kids to eat this?
or for you to eat this if say you brought it to work for lunch and forgot to put it in the refrigerator and it wasnt packed with ice?
i brought fettucini with alfredo and broccoli that i cooked last night and had it in the refrigerator overnight. Got it out at 7 am for my lunch today and didnt realize until 10:50 that i hadnt put it in the fridge at work, so its been sitting out in a tupperware container for almost 4 hours, but it feels cold inside the container? do i toss it? or will it be fine to eat? thanks

No it isn't k for a guardian to devour nearly all of their children sweet. If they're so set on them gaining weight, cavities, sugar rushes from it then they cannot take them out to get the sweet to start with. Those are the few occasions a 12 months that a few children even get to devour Candy, and I consider just a little sweet every so often doesnt harm and the dad and mom cannot take that clear of them.

I would eat it. I tend to believe that society in general is way too paranoid about these things. I almost never refrigerate my lunch at work.

It's fine, some people have to bring lunches everyday that don't have refrigerators at work and they are still very healthy people. II don't see what this has to do with kids though....

Define, "cooked." If you mean you boiled some plastic bags and poured out the contents, all the chemicals and preservatives are probably keeping the food from spoiling (I still don't recommend eating it).
If you cooked it by mixing the elements of food, beware of unrefrigerated cream sauces. It might still be good but, because I've got a kid depending on me, I usually pass on questionable food.

Since it was sitting inside a cool office, rather than out in the hot sun, I would eat it.

As long as you put it in the microwave and reheat it on high, and then let it cool to eating temp, it's fine.

Should be fine. From my family's experience, we've left things out for around 10 hours and we're still alive and well. It is personal choice though, and I suggest you ring someone and ask. Maybe a nurse, chemist or a nutritionist if you can contact one.

I'd probably eat it, but no way I'd give it to my kid. Alfredo is LOADED with fat and sodium and offers virtually nothing nutritious. Okay for adults occasionally, but way too unhealthy for kids.
TD= lazy, uneducated parents (unless you think 50 grams of fat per serving is healthy). Morons.

I think its fine if it stills feels cold, just make sure you reheat the heck out of it. The microwave will probably zap any potential germs. It soounds good...making me hungry..
