And if you grow it yourself, you ought to get used to a stray bug here or there that hung on to some leafy vegetable despite vigorous washing.

When did we become such wusses obsesses with an antiseptic life?

I grew my own lettuce for the first time this year with great success UNTIL I found little green worms nibbling the leaves. I found even after washing the lettuce thoroughly I just couldn’t bring myself to eat any of it. Wound up tossing all the plants.
