The same people who wash their produce in soap probably worry about the “chemicals” in GMO’s. Pretty funny.

If you are using mold killer and bug killer, then why would you think that is safe to ingest? So, it’s poison, you are ingesting poison.

Nice straw man you have there. Does it have a name? Do you go out on dates?

“risking infection by reusing the few they still have.”

So when does that greatest economic system of all time, corporate capitalsim, step up and save us?

While I’m sure what you see in your kitchen sink is equivalent to years of actual studies of the subject, how much dirt is on there isn’t really the question. I also grew up with a big garden, my grandfather had a small farm. We really never had much problem getting dirt off stuff.

Part of the issue is that these…

Yer food safety guy’s twitter thread up there tells us there’s no evidence that produce sprays or cleaners are any more effective than plain water. Neither is vinegar.

But follows that up with a “why not” cause they’re not dangerous.

Nobody washes fruits and veggies with soap, man. That’s just gross.

Who washes produce with soap? That’s... not smart.

If only there was a government agency focused on disease control and prevention to provide reputable information, perhaps at regular briefings given by this “presidential” leader you’ve dreamed up

Yep let's have 2 rapists running for office. I love to believe women only when it's convenient to me!

He’s also been accused of rape. 

The advice to “Wash your hands often, especially after handling packages” would still apply, no? Grab the box, pour the crackers in a bowl or something, and wash your hands before you eat. As far as we know now, the virus lasts on cardboard for a day so after 24 hours, you should be fine but you can always continue…

You want to hear something insane?  This year, all Health Insurance plans that cover ACA (Obamacare) are required to send a separate invoice to all it’s ACA members for Hyde services.  Yep, you’ll get two bills every month; one for your standard medical coverage and a separate invoice for whatever the health plan…
