Raiko x Seija Manzai by Rappa. My life is never dull.

On the contrary, that kind of product might sell rather well considering that organic vegetables with a little dirt on them (even at 1.2 times more compared to other companies!) actually help to boost the immune system through innocuous level of exposure. 60,000 microbes is actually negligible to the immune system, considering that there could be over 2 million on the tip of a needle. As long as they're not coliform or fungal, it'll be fine.

Most of the time.

Actually, it's not that much the food itself that is a danger (although we tend to eat things that make us wonder if it's really food), it's more a problem of habits of people. Those who are the most often sick, are those who are over-protecting themselves from microbs, and/or who drink tap water (it just plainly kills our intestinal flora), and/or who lack physical activity.

I find it hilarious that you generalize that tap water is dangerous

American tap water, if I remember correctly, is pretty variable from state to state. I've heard they sometimes have unhealthy levels of fluorine in some areas, but I don't have the figures with me to cite accurately. Plus, it's been ten years since I was last in America, so please take that with a grain of salt.

In my country, though, tap water is a no-no when it comes to straight consumption. Rust is common, hell even coliform bacteria is present in some areas. That's why all our drinking water comes in bottles (or very thoroughly filtered through expensive machines).
