Why chef should keep their fingernails short when they working with food?
Bacteria can easily grow on fingernails, so long nails aren't sanitary enough when cooking for the public as a chef does. Even if one washes their hands frequently, it still doesn't remove the dirt and bacteria from under the fingernails. Also, food tends to get under long nails, and it's more difficult to dice food with long nails because they get in the way.

Can people have claws like bears do?
If you get surgery, maybe. But naturally, No. Bear claws are like really really thick fingernails. Guess what? Sadly we have very thin fingernails. To keep your fingernails nice and strong. Cut them so they are short, (this will also make them non germy so your hands are clean. Most dirt is under your finger/toenails.) and worst of all: DO NOT CHEW YOUR FINGERNAILS! This will flatten them and make them thin and weak. If you want strong 'claws' i guess you can get them long? and cut them to have a point but it isnt very attractive... and it is a saftey hazard. Thank you and have a germ free day.
