    Making sure your fruit and veg is washed, half the time we’ve dropped it on the dirty floor and just do a quick dust off.

    If you’re not fully washing your fresh produce when you get home, do it from now on, people are fucking disgusting and will sneeze in their hands meer seconds before picking up, handling and then putting back the stuff on the shelf, contaminating the rest.

      We did an experiment in my microbiology teaching lab once where we made cell cultures from some food we had blended without washing first, comparing spinach to raw hamburger.

      The spinach was worse. MUCH worse. It also had nastier types of cultures that popped up. I have always washed my veggies thoroughly since that day.
