I couldn't agree with you more Tailgater ... It's been years since I haven't wore gloves when around raw meat, poultry, fish, food, etc. I do go through a lot of gloves cause I'm always changing them like you mentioned. I especially like that I don't have to wash my hands all the time. I figure I'm better safe than sorry and besides gloves at Costco are cheap.
I also use them everywhere around the house, gardening, in the RV when handling sewer hoses, when filling up with gas/diesel, etc. too many uses to mention!
Here's the gloves I use from Costco.
