Yet you talk more about ratings during a pandemic than human suffering and show no empathy. Hmmm....

In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!

I read that GREAT like Tony the Tiger says it about those frosted flakes. Also you really don't have to pretend you are doing this because of the pandemic.

We will never let the great U.S. Oil & Gas Industry down. I have instructed the Secretary of Energy and Secretary of the Treasury to formulate a plan which will make funds available so that these very important companies and jobs will be secured long into the future!

Truly the most important groups to focus on protecting in the middle of a pandemic. Make sure their checks have your name on them too!

Why do they soak lutefisk in lye?
It is said that lutefisk was invented because some "fumbly person" happened to drop lye on a piece of dried, soaked fish and thus discovered that the dry fish re-took its original shape and became white.

cool, I was under the assumption you didn't want to bleach produce cuz bleach is harsh even in diluted forms..so I learned a thing!

the paper seems to agree, but at least its not a safety issue like ingesting soap..thanks for sharing

quote:

The regulations do not specify a permissible residual level of
chlorine. Presumably, the fresh water rinse eliminates any potential problem with residual chlorine. As a practical matter, residual
chlorine would in most foods produce highly objectionable flavors
and odors well before becoming a safety hazard

I'm not going to start bleaching my produce or anything but still good to know

Oh God, I though you were arguing against washing your hand. I am so sorry. Who the hell wash produce with soap. You could remove the soap with acidic formula but still, WTF. Just loving scrub lightly with your hand its not difficult.

I'm surprised a bunch of kids didn't die in the past 100 years from getting their mouth washed out with soap. Soap is super deadly. It is poison.

Non-toxic and all. But POISON! Its unthinkable how much damage soap could do if you ingested it. Thats why we don't soak our dishes in it, too dangerous.

(I don't wash my produce in soap because it sounds disgusting to me, I just put it under the faucet like a human being, but I really think the least dangerous thing people might do in a day is eat a bit of soap residue compared to hitting a weed vape pen 48 times)

You shouldn't eat arsenic either but I don't freak out about trace amounts in my apple.

Dish soap is not some kind of super poison. Calm down. Yes, you shouldn't drink it from the bottle like maple syrup. No, you don't need to worry about a bit of soap residue being left behind on a vegetable, but you don't need to use soap on produce anyways.

There's someone out there in America right now making GBS threads their guts out because they washed mushrooms or broccoli or bread or something in soapy water and ate more than the recommended daily value as a result. It's not a super poison, but it's also not vitamins, and it's considered Not Food Safe for good reason. If it makes you feel better, dilute bleach should be totally adequate, and safe. Bleach evaporates clean without residue, unlike soap, which is the foundation of how every restaurant protects you from salmonella without feeding you small amounts of soap or antiseptic all the time. There's absolutely no harm in wiping an apple with bleach solution but for some things it will probably reduce the shelf life. For any vegetables you're going to cook there's really no need for all of this- change it out into another container when it comes home and then just treat it like a raw piece of chicken and clean up after yourself after you put it in the pan, and you'll be perfectly safe from the virus, and from eating soap, and from accidentally ruining your produce.

e: also I'd speculate that soap is much worse for shelf life since it's going to go hog wild on oils that keep things from drying out and prevent mold and such

Yeah a friend of mine had a big rant on social media about that meme which goes "Re-opening businesses because the curve is starting to flatten is like taking off your parachute because it already slowed your descent" and it took a bunch of us several hours to convince him that flattening the curve just means that the virus is currently being held in check at its peak rate and isn't accelerating any further, it doesn't mean things are safe now.

He's usually a lot smarter than this, I'm pretty sure he was just having a panic attack because the entire world has gone to poo poo and was grasping at a straw
