    Eh I see the logic (and also feel personally attacked lol), but here’s how I justify it: running water doesn’t accumulate the particulates you’re trying to avoid when you drink it in large enough quantities, and you know the apple may have dirt on it that’s carrying other pathogens. So mainly you’re trying to avoid getting listeria or E. coli from the apple by risking a little bit of the water pollutants.

    It’s a perverse risk analysis calculus, ideally water and apple both should be clean enough. But we know store bought and “rinsed” produce often causes food poisoning, and drinking large amounts of unfiltered tap water in some places can also make you sick. As mentioned, ideally you’re somewhere where washing the apple makes it relatively cleaner.

    YFW you got a serious response 😬

      Where in the developed world can you get sick by drinking tap water?

        Flint, Michigan has entered the chat

        fwiw, my town has been sending us notices about increased PFAS beyond acceptable values. But I guess PFAS are everywhere…

          Yeah i think “pfas beyond acceptable levels” is just the new baseline and nobody wants to do anything about it. It sucks.

        The UK (in an old home where hot water tanks heated water in an unsafe way).

          But only if the hot and cold lines get cross contaminated.

          But not just Flint, there’s more, to be sure.
