About To Have A Root Awakening
I work in a fast food adjacent kinda place. A new hire (mid-teens) is helping me wash out some heads of lettuce.
New Hire: “Why is there so much dirt in the lettuce?”
Me: “They come direct from the farm to here.”
New Hire: “Okay, but where did the dirt come from?”
Me: “The ground.”
New Hire: “Eww, these things have touched the ground? And we’re feeding customers this stuff?”
Me: “Lettuce comes from the ground. That’s where it grows.”
New Hire: “For real. Ugh. I’m so happy I only have cheese in my burger.”
Me: “Do you order fries?”
New Hire: “Of course!”
Me: “Then you’re gonna love finding out where potatoes come from…”
