Downvoting me for this was stupid. You know know enough about food if you think bleaching is healthy. Apart of what makes salad healthy is the bacterial culture that's naturally on it. Think probiotics that are essential to maintaining proper digestion of the food you're eating. Seriously, get downvoted for anything.

I didn't downvote you, but if you think the only thing that makes salad healthy are it's probiotics then you also don't know enough about food.

Any cooking method that would kill ecoli will also destroy those helpful bacteria.

Factory farms in the US wash their vegetables with chlorinated water.

"if you think the only thing that makes salad healthy are it's probiotics then you also don't know enough about food."

Learn about the gut micro-biome. The main reason salad is good for you it's effect on gut.

We eat to feed the gut, not ourselves. To imply that prebiotics/probiotics aren't the main reason vegetables have a positive health effect on us is beyond ignorant. That's the reason why diabetes, cancer and heart disease is now worse than all the wars of history combined.

So just take a bunch of probiotics with your steak n shake, and call it good?

And, you meant to say salad that hasn't ever been washed in chlorinated water is good for you.

Are you taking the piss?

"And, you meant to say salad that hasn't ever been washed in chlorinated water is good for you."

You're the one putting words into my mouth. I never said that because I don't believe that. Salad that's fresh from a traditional farm using healthy soil, practices and cultivar is good for you.

If you're satisfied with nutritionally bankrupt, sterile food, fine. Good for you.

So you go visit the farms and check to make sure the soil is healthy?
