When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. ~Theodore Dalrymple

" I do not believe that every one is false. I will not believe that hope tells a flattering tale or that friendship is only a name, or that true love has fled from the earth and that the fear of God has vanished. Love is life. So much love, so much life, and few women, have been so well loved as I."

Who would have thunk it? The lemon wedge! At home, I wash the outside skin of my fruit, but I never gave restaurant lemons a second thought. I'm liking eating out less and less as these reports keep sufacing.
rockync..I know, I never even considered it, either. At home, I always wash all fruits and veggies, including apples, oranges, lemons, etc., before slicing into them. I have always thought that anything on the outside could contaminate the inside, too...but I have never given it a second thought in restaurants. I am getting less enthusiastic about eating out, too.
Oh dear! I never gave it a thought either! We seldom eat out anymore because of other dietary concerns, I imagine other sliced fruits and vegies are equally suspicious!
Thanks for the heads up, Jan:)
HEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!! Sickness is EVERYWHERE these days!!!
eeeiow!
She..the more info I find about this stuff, the more I want to become a hermit! :)
Frank Family..and no wonder, with the lack of hygiene everywhere! :(
tanie..my sentiments, exactly! :)
Yes. Sometimes hermitude is good.
Most folks who've ever worked, or just really seen, in restaurant kitchens get the heebie jeebies about them.
Lucky for me, I have a somewhat dim view of the average human's sense about things like this. So I rarely eat out anyway - even when I'm healthy enough to make it inside a restaurant.
k..I'm beginning to think that is is healthier to stay completely away from the restaurants! :)
Hello Jan, Thank you for this info. I never would have thought about getting sick from lemon wedges at a restaurant. I will make sure to stear clear of them next time I go out to eat.
Lydia..hi, there!
There are probably lots of things that we are unaware of, that can make us sick...but I never gave this one a thought!
