Wash your vegetables
I met with a friend over the weekend that had some inside information into the farming business. He claims that all produce, including milk, needs to be pastreurized or washed. And here is where he bases these bold statements:
1. He has a dairy and is an extremely clean person...almost to the point of OCD. Anyways, he says that in his milkbarn, he is the one that changes the soap in the bathroom. He claims that he rarely has to refill the soap dispenser because after the milkers take care of business in the bathroom, they resume "speezing tits" (pulling milk from cow's udders) without washing their hands. This is why milk is pasteurized (well one reason).
I grew up on raw milk. i would carry the milk can from the house to the barn and back.. Luckily I didn't fall in the milk tank....and I feel that my stomach is as strong as an ox and I never got sick. So my friend, we'll call him Richard, claims that was because it was a family run dairy and we were clean people.
2. This same friend, who we called Richard, has a good friend that owns tons and tons of acres of tomatoes. He states that his friend, we'll call him Donald, told him that they provide bathrooms at each end on the field for the workers. But the the workers who pick the tomatoes never use them. Instead, they prefer to just "take care of business" in the field. Hence bacteria growth and mass sickness and kidney failures.
Always wash your fresh vegetables.
