Scared to Eat

I decided to microwave a potato to go with lunch today. I looked at it and remembered the story about a woman peeing on the potatoes. I scrubbed the heck out of it before cooking.
I removed it from the microwave and started wondering if someone could inject something into it.
What about the green beans? Do I scrub each one? I did not want to think about the tuna and what might happen to it.
We all need to eat every day. I am getting more fearful of the food I buy. I don't know what to fix or how to make sure it is safe. I am really leery of eating out too.
Have all the news stories about food tampering scared you? Have you changed the way you prepare meals? Or does it not bother you at all?

There have always been filthy, gross people handling our food, forever and a day! It's only recently, that all of this has been made public. I don't listen to any of it, instead I just pray over our food and serve my family. Dwelling on this is a big waste of mental energy and time!

@akalinus The Bible states clearly that these things will continue to wax worse and worse. The Lord will be our keeping power, through every bit of it! As he was with Israel and fought their battles, he's doing the same thing for you and for me:)

@akalinus sadly they've no room'n the jails fer such. then their lawyers (which our taxpayer dollars're 'lso payin' fer...) 'd claim a violation 'f their rights 'n get a huge $$ settlement. i'm thinkin' lots 'n lots 'f community service. like cleanin' public restrooms with a toothbrush....

@crazyhorseladycx I guess you are right. They have rights and the consumer does not. Makes me kind of mad, but it is what it is.

@akalinus I am not thinking about germs. I was raised that way.

@marguicha Well, yes. I was too, but it is more important now. There are more foo scares than ever before and add in people doing gross things to it just makes it worse.

though some people do nasty things to food in production, packaging, etc the chances of it affecting you directly is slim so it is best not to worry about it too much

I'm trying to buy anything that is sealed. But of course with fresh fruits and veggies, who knows? I guess just scrub them and trust God to protect us.

The radiation from the microwave should sterilize any contaminants in and on your food. At least that's what I tell myself! lol

yeah nowadays we must have to aware because lots of vegetable and fruits got injected to grow fast but we don't identify easily it so its better to take from trusted place so it will be more safe. I have seen in video that how they fastly make artificial cabage by one injection that no one can believe so when i see cabage that video comes in my mind.

Yes, I agree with @kobesbuddy but I will say if anyone had peed on those potatoes they would reek of urine scent.

@akalinus Yes,I'm scared of eating papaya and banana which are my favourite fruits because I am told that banana and papaya are ripened artificially by using carbide.A doctor told me that fruits ripened unnaturally by using carbide cause cancer.

@akalinus I don't know how they use carbide and other chemicals to ripen bananas unnaturally,but you can identify unnaturally bananas easily.The stalk of naturally ripened banana is black or brown whereas unnaturally ripened bananas have green stalk.The skin of naturally ripened banana looks deep yellow and has brown and black spots.The skin of artificilly ripened banana is lemon yellow.

You can grow and harvest vegetables in your garden. I this this would be the best remedy.
