billay Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 or maybe that fecal bacteria came from the hands of the grubby community college lab tech who did the testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I'm pretty sure I could eat every one of those lemons and not catch a cold. I hate this bacterial paranoia. Why don't we treat everything with disinfectant until the only organisms that survive are the ones that are resistant to known treatments. Foolishness.

Bier Meister Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 hypothetically, how many lemon wedges might a couple use over a 5+ hour sitting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 My faith in this report failed when they claimed that 77%, or 2 out of every 3, samples tested.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind a little bacteria...but the feces freaks me out (if true). I'm sure we wouldn't get sick by licking dung...but I wouldn't try it.

Double Agent Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 The average human eats 23 pounds of fecal matter a year. You can't argue with statistics. I guess I'm way below average because I just don't have a taste for the stuff. If the 23 pounds is true, that's just something I didn't want to know.

If the 23 pounds is true, that's just something I didn't want to know. It isn't true for the average person. Atomic eats extra as he believes it adds pigmentation to his pasty complexion.

"No Ice cream until you've had your cat poop, sweetie!" If the 23 pounds is true, that's just something I didn't want to know. Would I just make something up about eating feces?

Why don't we treat everything with disinfectant until the only organisms that survive are the ones that are resistant to known treatments. Foolishness. Same here. I felt like this was a scene from Along came Polly when Stiller tells Polly to put the peanuts back in the bowl on the bar. Telling her about all the bacteria on the nuts because people don't wash their hands after taking a piss. My faith in this report failed when they claimed that 77%, or 2 out of every 3, samples tested.... THought of that as well. I also started laughing at what a joke this was after such a big deal was made about all the bacteria on the lemon and then the scientist stated that "it's not a cause for concern".
