   You honestly think the FDA would allow grocery stores to sell food with traces of pesticides and shit? yeah right, thats just a corporate lie to make you think you're getting farm fresh produce and not some factory greenhouse fake GMO bullshit.
   
   And wouldn't washing it just splash the pesticides and germs all over your sink and cutting board anyways? Also introducing moisture to a vegetable, and then cutting it exposing more moisture and putting it in a moist fridge will cut its shelf life in half

   That's pretty racist bro. The migrant workers who pick and handle our produce are just as clean as you and I. I don't think it's right to assume they're dirty just because they're foreign.
   
   (That's always how it comes across to me when my mom says something like that anyway.)

   At least as clean as we would be. For instance Mexicans shit on lettuce and spread ecoli, true. But only because whites aren't doing the job. Do whites not shit?

   I thought he was talking about customers touching the produce, with thoughts of buying it. I could be wrong, of course!🥗🥬🥦

    You're right! Does HTS even go grocery shopping? Those people are fucking disgusting. They sneeze and cough on everything then pick through the apples like they're cooking for Gordon Ramsey

    you really think running some water over it is gonna kill all those germs and bacteria
    
    Do you use hot soapy water? if not its pointless

    99% of washing things is just abrasion. Dish soap doesnt kill germs, its just good for removing stuff. This is why the food industry uses a separate sanitizer.
    
    And yes, I cook my vegetables. And for what I dont cook, washing is better than not washing.

    Citric acid? It's also an anti-oxidant, so makes food last longer.
    
    But I wonder if it's one of the reasons why home cooked food makes you feel better than processed. Who knows what that shit does in the gut.

    I've never been in a grocery store. Stocking the pantry is what servants are for.
    
    That said, my mom says the same kinda thing about produce like this:
    
    
    Which kind of eliminates the "gross customer manhandling" angle. Y'know? Racist old biddy.

    Not citric acid.
    
    I don't know what it is but unfortunately I've tasted it and it is not citric acid.
    
    I'm talking about restaurants. There's a removing grease and bacteria physical stuff, then there's the sanitizing. Two steps. So like i said, dish soap doesnt kill bacteria

    Some dish soaps are anti-bacterial according to their claims

    Some but they don't work as well as real sanitizer. A restaurant would get shut down without two step washing.
