do you always wash your fruit prior to eating?

i'm not even convinced pesticides are water soluble.

do you give all your fruit a proper scrub-down? apples easy..grapes, not so easy. nothing more you can do except a rinse down.

i admit, i can peel off that little ID sticker off of an apple and eat it. dumb?

I rinse off my fruit. As you said scrubbing grapes ain't gonna happen. Apples get a rinse and rub down but that is it.

Pears, peaches and the like just a rinse. I do like oranges since the peel gets tossed.

The guys that pick it dont have water to wash their hands after taking a leak. Think about it.

Only when my wife is watching. She thinks its necessary. I'm not convinced a water rinse is going to save me from anything dangerous, so why bother?

Definitely! Always wash my hands AND my fruit before eating.

A little awkward getting my junk up into the sink and all that but I think it is worth it!

If God had meant for man to eat fruit he would have made it taste like steak.

Yes. If I don't, I get an allergic reaction that constricts my throat.

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there!

And yes, I wash fruit with soap before eating.

Wash, vash.

My wife refuses to peel mushrooms. I stopped eating mushrooms when I discovered this. I don't care whether the schit they grow them in is sterilized or not.

carrots, potatoes and beetroot all grow in the same stuff as mushrooms, except the mushrooms don't live under it. Give all of them a quick wash and it's all good.
