Formica is lovely and comes in so many choices.

Granite is just rocks...pretty rocks polished and sealed.

I have to think some of the bad publicity has to be generated by the counter top competitors. This is the second home we have had granite...We are still kickin'.

Have what you like. I like that you can take things out of the oven or off the stove and sit them down on it. I like Formica because it isn't so hard and doesn't break stuff...However, I haven't really broken more than five or six dishes in the twenty years being a granite owner.

I am aware of my food and where it is prepared and use a cutting board that can be sterilized in the dishwasher. That would be true of granite or formica.

Not a germphobe. Just a person who likes my housemates a LOT.
