[QUOTE="simme, post: 1730328, member: 40418"] Vegetables are grown in the dirt. With all sorts of animals walking over them and doing 1 and 2 on them. Fruit grown in trees with birds flying over and roosting in the trees. Park a car under a tree and look what happens. Fish and seafood grown in water that might not be drinkable. Water supply from rivers and lakes where nasty things happen. Grains harvested by combines that are not sanitized. Insects and vermin in those combines in the off season. Grain stored in silos with insects and insecticides present and probably a mouse or two. It's a nasty world. Most food gets cleaned up somewhat before use. I suspect it is much better now than in older days, but all those people survived. You know the saying - "Sh*t happens". We just have to do the best we can. Chances of death from dirty food are probably less than death from most other causes. A person who works around the rear end of a cow is sure to get a little contamination. But a little rinsing up and I am ready to eat - most any food. Some people say its builds immunity. Organic fertilizer - think about what that is and where it comes from. Anyone who has moved chicken litter understands the grit factor. You can feel it on your lips and teeth. Which is better - organic fertilizer or chemical fertilizer? I ain't too worried for myself.
