if you knew how much shit is on literally everything, you'd, well i don't know what youd do, but there is shit on literally everything so washy washy
a little shit isn't deadly, you rinse vegetables anyways.

That's why lettuce is the most deadly food on your table. You are far more likely to get serious food poisoning from it than from anything else.

you're right, that's how statistics work
