“You really think an inorganic farm keeps rodents, birds, squirrels, etc., from ‘free’ ranging. OR they do not hire uneducated unsanitary ‘workers’ taking a potty break in the field. Human waste is the worst offender in contaminating processed food.”
That’s my point exactly, I think it does happen. That’s why I said “Shiite Happens” which I meant literally. Who is more likely to clean it up and sanitize before they ship it? Who is less likely to use fecal matter as fertilizer? Who is likely to have the least amount of human contact with the food? The inorganic factory farm, that’s who.
I don’t believe there are any good melon picker machines. Melons would need to be picked by people no matter what if you cared about quality.
