Eat the fruit and don't worry about it !!! If you eat out you have eaten lots of things, they are inspected but, not watched the whole time they are in the kitchen, ever wonder what side towels are used for ? How about wiping hands on before going back to fix food ? High end places are the worst.

If you know people who have worked in the kitchens of a lot of the places you eat I bet you wouldn't eat there anymore. I've heard some stories that curled my hair.

my father is in his 80s. do you think he or his parents worried so much about so little as "we" do today? HECK NO!

between the eco-hysteria, the organic con and disinfectants added to everything, all we're doing is disabling our bodies' immune systems. it's no wonder there are so many incidents now of "food-related" outbreaks of illnesses we never heard of when we were kids.

there are cultures in which bugs are part of their daily diet.

have a hotdog and grab an apple from the tree. you'll live.

relaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax.

:wink:

As I'm reading this thread, there is an advertisement directly below it for edible fruit baskets for $19.99! LOL

They are pretty, but I don't think I'd ever eat one :|

Just and example is 10% of coffee beans infested, ketchup 30 fruit flies per 100 grams, peanut butter 50 insect fragments per 100 grams. and the list goes on. as clean or fussy as everyone is everyday of your life you are eating bugs. SOOOOOOOOOOO do you want some kethup with those fries????? more food for thought even though you wash your fruits and veggies do you do it with soap? was there a raccoon up in the apple tree before they were picked and did by chance the raccoon pee while up there and get the apples wet??????? if you think about it all you would never eat now would you??????? OH just for the record I wash my kitchen towels seperate from everything else is hot water and bleach and NO one washes their hands in my kit sink.

I am the food service production coordinator for our large school corp.
I am very picky about where and what we eat. I try not to think about it too much or I would starve.

I have a friend that has got and given them before and he says they're great! The people that I know that are the pickiest about what they eat are the sickest (most often ill) people that I know.
