Why ever not? Have you not seen how potatoes beans and cereals are
harvested?
Â*most of those are cooked before eating. Salt is often added "raw"

So let me be clear about this line of reasoning.
Salt which doesn't support organic life, is at rusk of contamination
by machinery that also cannot support organic life.
But vegetables that can get crapped on by a fox etc are ok because
they are sometimes cooked?

Salads in Spain are fed with excrement and then washed in chlorine, you
know, the deadly stuff the Americans use to wash chicken carcasses.
Have you ever spent more than 30 seconds inspecting a farm or market
garden?

To be fair, the objection is not to chlorine washing of chicken, but to
the poor conditions that they are kept and processed in and that make
chlorine washing necessary.
