I also think, Erin, that many of the veges people buy today are squeekly clean, processed and wrapped in some type of synthetic material.

I grow spuds and carrots, turnips and onions, and thers nothing better than pulling a fresh bit of organic vege, you have grown, out of the ground, give it a quick brush down and ..whoosh: away it goes, down the hatch.

I think super hygiene in many areas off our lives isnt doing our immune systems any favours, either.
