To wash or not to wash

I’m curious to know what you guys think about this….

When I am ready to chow down on some dates, or make a salad with some yummy greens, sprouts, etc. Sometimes I don’t wash them cause I feel that what is already on there might be better than running them under chlorine tap water, and who knows what other chemicals are in there.

I know I could probably get a water filter that hooks up to the faucet, and wash em off that way, but money is a little tight.

Watcha think!?

    i went to a lecture of victoria boutenko in september, she said something like that: don’t wash your produce. because there will be tons of bug’s eggs and bugs and they are good for you, in a nature no one wash there fruit, veggies. also when you wash everything, you’ll became weak, we need germs in our life we actually gets stronger to having them.

    when i picked veggies from my garden, i don’t wash them most of time, but i do wash them when i bought greens and fruit from store(i buy organic). i actually asked my produce guys about it, they said “wash them before you eat because you never know what happened them while shipping or even in a store….”. i do still eat fruits with out washing when i bought from farmer’s market, because i just can’t wait to get home!

    i still don’t know what make of it that victoria’s new study…... kinda make sense but i don’t want to eat bugs….i won’t eat animals, so bugs are same way…
