As a University alum and a long-time bachelor, I can agree that food stays edible for a long time left out.

We didn't think twice about eating day-old pizza that was left out. There was the odd time we would push the 48 hour mark, but most of the time the pizza was finished long before that.

Leaving food out on the counter for four hours? No worries. Think about how long food is left out at picnics and BBQ's. 30 degree weather, flies free to crawl all over it, etc...
