1. Nothing to worry your pretty little head over!!!
2. Immense. Manufacturers have to take responsibility for every grated finger and every finger nail ever served in mac n cheese
3. NOW YOUR GETTING TO THE RUB OF IT IT SHOULD HAVE A WARNING "THIS ITEM MIGHT BE USED BY NUTS" "ONLY USE ON HARD CHEESE"
4. Plastic or metal? Makes a difference.
5. The answer is in your question.Look harder.
6. I used to be a "Cheese grater" but then i am a bit flaky!
7. If this is for design technology then it's the usual stuff I'm afraid. Think about production, it's shelf life, usability and disposability. OK, here's one implication for each... Production; Is the cheapest way to make it by getting little kids to make it in a sweat house? Can this be avoided by using cheaper materials so that you can pay a higher wage? Shelf life; Is it designed so that it breaks after one year or will it go on forever meaning the customer only spends their money with you once in a life time? Does the price reflect this? Usability; Is it suitable for all sections of society? What about left handed people, children, people with upper limb disabilities? Disposability; Is it biodegradable? Will it be hazordous, ie, give off toxins or have sharp bits that may cause injury, as it deteriorates. Hope that helps.
8. Whenever a cheese grater is made, it is a potential tool for sadomasochists. Elderly judges, dressed in nappies, often ask their dominatrix to use a metal cheese grater. Therefore, there is a moral dilemma surrounding the whole issue of sex and violence!
