So here's a list of restaurants that sweep the floor and add it to the burritos. Every one of us will swear that we don't eat fast food. Fine.

We say we only eat what we cook at home. Fine.

Now let's hear from the grocery store workers that have horror stories about fresh produce that isn't (ahem) so fresh.

Unless you grow it, harvest it, and prepare it yourself, you food is subject to all kinds of sabotage.

Bon Appetit!

I used to work at green giant canning factory, and I did not eat corn or peas years after that.

We used to chase the mice out of the produce department. Sometimes we threw plums at them. I remember coming in early one day to see a couple of mice sitting on top of the bin of peanuts having a grand ole time.

I worked in several stores, for a couple of chains. This is the same everywhere.

When “they” tell you to wash your produce, there is a reason for that.

Good points, all.

I cook at home to save money and to prepare what I want, the way I want it, when I want it. But I do eat out too, and I take my chances. So far, so good.
