Take the trusty apple… you know that one a day is supposed to keep the Doctor away - hear us out.
Generally produce is stacked in the supermarket by hand to merchandise the fruit and make it as appetising as possible. Then, once they’re stacked, many people like to pick up their fruit, inspect it and make sure it’s free from bruises and imperfections.
Before that apple even reaches the supermarket, it has been picked and handled by numerous hands and maybe even exposed to pesticides. Even in a smaller, family grocery store, the person that stacks the apples could easily be the person that also handles the cash.
Therefore the apple a day, that normally gets a quick rinse under the tap, may not keep the Doctor away after all.
