surely that's the opposite of what is true?!?!? I think he was put off buy the dirt on the produce...... supermarket veg clearly grows in a sterile vacum as you can tell by the lack of soil right?
so I think it's for those people, the ones who are frightened of getting their hands dirty......
At least when you pick them in the lanes you know exactly where they came from.Grown naturally.I ate a few on my walk the other day I am still here and ok.Mum always said a bit of dirt never hurt no one.We are too clean these days thats why kids dont build natural immunitys.You here childrens mums saying dont get dirty dont eat that its not washed keep your clothes clean.No wonder they all catch all the bugs going round they havent built up enough of their own immunities.Its like my friend who is a midwife says not only are we too clean but we keep babies in to sleep whereas we used to put them out in the garden to sleep in the fresh air much better for them than constantly kept inside with cenral heating etc.Plus if you take the kids for a walk picking wild fruit they will see all the wildlife around and have fun in the fields trees and streams.Much better for there health and minds
