Original Answer:

to get the germs off.

My Answer:

If we touch our eyes, nose, mouth, or food with dirty hands then some of the bacteria and viruses on our hands will get inside of us. Usually that's not a big deal because our immune systems will kill the invading organisms but occasionally we all get some powerful germs on our hands and putting those organisms into our body will make us sick.

Most germs are washed off of our hands when we lather up with soap and warm water, which is why I always wash my hands well before handling food.
