  • Depends on the geography/density/availability of shops where you live. I’m in Australia and the meme absolutely applies. I’m in an area that is considered relatively centric and with plenty of shops and yet the closest one is about a 10’ walk (a bit over 1km). You probably don’t want to do your weekly shopping there or it will get expensive quickly. Large chain supermarkets are at least 3km away.

    Compare that to other places in Europe or South America where you have groceries and the odd shop around the corner in pretty much any residential area.

    I don’t know where you live but I’m in Australia and I also lived in South America and I’ve seen plenty of dirt, caterpillars, aphids and flies too many times on my lettuce, harvested from different sources, seasons, and purchased from different supermarket chains and small grocer shops.

    And it was never a problem for me. Where are you getting your sterile lettuce from, so I make sure I don’t?
