I had some tacos earlier that were pretty messy.

It's not a bad idea to wear nitrile or something similar when eating messy food, but I probably wouldn't. It might even make more sense if you worked in a job where your hands got really nasty dirty with chemicals (like a mechanic dealing with grease & grime).

But I wouldn't use them, and you'd end up just making a bunch of toxic garbage that would end up in a landfill.

I think many/most folks just get used to some foods being messy.
