How will the vegans/vegetarians manage to avoid getting sick? It is my understanding that eating fruits and vegetables that have been washed in tap water is going to probably make us all violently ill.Hey, we non-vegetarians like to wash our fruit as well! :) We have 24h medical service 200m away, so you will most probably not die. If youdon't eat washed fruit, well, we are in a chicken-and-egg situation :)
Many years ago, when working in Mexico, I was taught to squeeze lime juice on and in everything, and prefer drinking beer and wine to water. Drinking water, avacado, tacos, everything. It must have worked; I never got sick. Agua de arros and agua tamarindo seemed to be fine without lime being added. Or you can drink the very popular coca cola; that has surely been sterilized.
Well, a lifetime? We are not used to the bacteria, we are used to being careful. Every now and then we also get sick. And so do you, with the Florida bacteria ;-)
What does "being careful" mean? Ted --It's not true unless it makes you laugh, but you don't understand it until it makes you weep.
