Default Washing Fruit Prior To Consumption...

I rinse apples and grapes by holding them under the tap water before
eating them. I often wonder if I am getting "pesticide residue" off
these fruits before I eat them? Would they be better rinsed if I
filled the sink with cold water and let them "soak" for a while to
remove the residue? I saw on tv there are more germs in the kitchen
sink than in the toilet. I suppose there is just not an effective and
easy way to clean your fruits before eating.

I've never gotten sick from a piece of fruit - most times I don't rinse it off. I don't see much reason to start.

Well its time to START washing those often imported veggies and fruit. Furrin workers who don't wash their hands after defecating can spread E Coli which can make you puke your guts out or even KILL. Using a colander and using lots of force with the water spray MAY help. The 6 or 8 chemical applications may still linger so take your chances there.

Probably not, ergo, I don't bother and I am very healthy and getting
ancient It's probably a good way to build up immunity!

I am intrigued about the fuss over Hillary Clinton, I suddenly had
walking pneumonia last year. Thought I had a cold or something, felt
ghastly and it turned out to be pneumonia. A week resting and I've
been back to normal ever since. Can't understand why they enjoy
making such a fuss about it.

I have been amazed at the big do they are making about it - it is not
uncommon, many people can get it, requires a little rest and a good
antibiotic and Gary's your uncle

Any residue that is on the surface will easily be removed by
simple rinsing. Anything more is inside the fruit, and can't
be removed.

Reagan had Alzheimers the second time he was elected. Always remember
him being caught coming off the helo in the grounds of the White House
looking blank when a reporter asked him a question, Nancy, sheilding
her mouth clearly said to him 'Tell him you're looking into it' and he
did.

No! She's a woman so she carried on without whining longer than was

Well OK, I have been warned. Your body has a great defense against microorganisms but it's least effective when developed in an isolated/clean environment. Babies are naturally aware of this which is why the're constantly putting their hands in their mouth. As far as the Asians goes, we're less paranoid/suspicious about them on this rock.

I mean non-American although domestic workers too could be just as guilty of not washing their hands. Our domestic corporations should supervise these things and value their reputations for quality and cleanliness.

Many problems arose from importing from third-world countries where standards are not as high.

You do love to "nit-pick" don't you? Nasty little troll for sure.

That was a very reasonable reply up to the last sentence. 5 out of 10.

Cherries, etc, I only wash if I'd refrigerated them and I warm them in warm water. But plums, nectarines, apples, mangoes I wash! I wonder if I'm really washing anything off but even if not it makes me feel better.

moving? Then they're lying.
