Who rinses things to remove bacteria? I just want to remove dirt.

We tell ourselves these lies, as we fear the truth.

Only because you don't like the color, or maybe the texture of dirt? We wash off dirt because it's dirty, and dirty things aren't good for us (because of bacteria...).

Both the texture and whatever may be in it are undesirable.

Eating a little bit of dirt probably won't hurt you, but it is unpleasant.

Also because gritty lettuce makes a salad I don't eat. Spinach is the worst . . . plus it seems to have Listeria from time to time . . . 3.2 second wash minimum
