pre-packed salad rant

I am a passionate hater of pre-washed salads - What is so wrong with buying a nice normal lettuce and peeling the leaves of and waching them yourselves.

I mean it doesn't take that long and you know what you are getting, especially if you buy organic, or get it from someone who has an allotment (like us) or better still grow it yourself (it's so easy - trust me)

Pe-washed salads have been sprayed up to 20 times with pesticides and then when they are processed they are then washed in bleach to ensure that the odd caterpiller or other harmless insect ends up in the bag. BLEACH yes you read it right, the caustic stuff you use to clean the toilet goes on your salad leaves !

Oh and now it looks like that you're very likely to get food poisoning too

Take my advice - grow your own. You have been warned.
