Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'm not worrying - I do what I want to do. If it is not what you want to do it doesn't mean that I am worrying, just different. Don't let our differences worry ~you~.

May I ask why you don't wash? I know >someone who admits it is just pure laziness. This is going round and round in circles. On the one side, those who think everything needs to be washed, even sun-warmed tomatoes and raspberries picked directly from one's own garden! On the other side, those who think there are more important things to spend their time on, and who basically don't understand the question, and who can't resist eating just-picked food they grow themselves. I don't wash some produce from my garden, for a variety of reasons, which I listed. Food from my garden is, in fact, cleaner than any food I could buy. Bacteria and fungi and insects are in every food, on every surface -- they're part of life, and there's no escaping them. Why do you think everything needs to be washed? And how, exactly, do you wash everything so that you are satisfied that, say, all the germs from all the people who have handled it are neutralized, and free from contamination from any manure it may have been grown in? Do you use some special materials or techniques? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Hi everyone *putting on moderators hat* I'm thinking that maybe we should call an end to this particular topic. Quite frankly, I don't think I've ever seen anything as ridiculous as people getting offensive because someone chooses to wash their vegetables. Except maybe the incident where people got offensive about people keeping nuts in the fridge! Come on folks, this is hardly the most significant issue around... So, if people can't be polite, I will call an official end to the discussion! Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Yes, it is going round and round and I am not going to repeat what I have said or re-send the same information - it would be fruitless :-) Jo - <yarrow Tuesday, February 06, 2007 8:03 AM Re: vitamin B12, was Re: oil? > >All that you have said still leads me to believe that you would be > >better off washing everything.
