I know that to many, this will sound crazy. But actually 'residual pesticide, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria' are foreign matter/chemicals/molecules. The body's system is set up to protect its self from things that can harm it. So it builds up immunities against just such things. Living a life without all these 'residual pesticides, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria, is leading a sheltered life indeed.
I learned one important thing with my year in Korea, and stint in the jungles of SE Asia that instead of trying to shelter one's self from all the tiny critters that want to harm you, if you just welcome them aboard, your body will quickly build up immunities. And believe me my body went through some real 'turns' building up its fortification. What a mess. The first six months in Korea, I had the G.I. Shits non stop. But one day all that went away, and I had the strongest intestinal system of my life.
And I still stick out my tongue at all those contamination critters. I never peel my vegetables. I just rinse them off, and keep the skins on the carrots, potatoes, etc. I even don't worry if I leave something out over night. My gastrointestinal system can handle all that without breaiking into a sweat. And even though I have food poisoning about 10-12 times a year(no, its not a stomach virus folks - its really food poisoning) I'm over it in a few hours and I know I have another immunity built up, just in case.
So who gives a 'tinker's damn' about some tiny bit of 'residual pesticide, and antibiotic-resistant bacteria'. My body can more than handle it, and should be able to take on any other tiny critter that wants to enter my fortified system, thank-you-very-much.
