yes indeed, I’ve traveled far and wide lol there are also countries that are much more fastidious about cleanliness than we are..for example Germany.
Far more troubling are the amount of antibacterial products we are using to clean. It’s quite worrisome, children are growing up with no defense mechanisms with the advent of super bugs on the horizon.
As far as bio/organic produce which you see as “filthy” lol because they contain bugs and other things commonly found outdoors? Warning... don’t wander too far outside.
I know I have always admired the German cleanliness
And the bug thing, I used to buy that organic garbage til my cabinets kept hatching the meal moths from the stuff I bought, so now, it’s strictly the stuff with no bugs. Bugs outside don’t bother me so much. I hate having them in m house.
