Don't wanna give the impression I am some kind of clean-freak/germophobe. On the contrary, I strongly believe in the natural power of the human immune system and strongly disagree with stuff like hand sanitizers and such which I feel reduce the efficacy of our natural defenses.
TBH, I think I like the glass type cutting boards 'cause they look so cool.
