Wax is sometimes on fruit and pesticides to keep away bugs can be found. Pesticides kill people!
the natural [unedible] oils to make the fruit glossy and consumer buyable...and fertilizers...
yeah, pesticides.
Fruit can have insecticides and various germs on them.
Well like you sad dirt and stuff. Also, the fruit might have some bacteria or even potential fungus.
It most likely won't do you harm if you don't wash it but don't make it a habbit.
THe bugs that stand or lay on these fruits carry serious diseases and viruses, that can be transmitted to people.
wash it mostly to remove dirt, pesticides, insects. but also to remove all that wax they put on to make it all nice and shiny.
well other than dirt or anything like that the germs from others touching it...some stores spray wax on their vegetables and fruit to make them look good....the wax wont hurt you but washing fruit will keep the germ level down
would you pick up an apple and eat it right after you saw the snot-nosed sniffly 3-year-old in front of you run by and pick up several apples?
I don't think so...
Commercial coating used for aesthetic purposes to make the food more appealing to the consumer, The pesticides used during growth, the hormones used to make the fruit "ripen" during transport, and because the laborers who pick the food are known to have very bad hygiene practices. Such as relieving themselves whenever and wherever the need arises, with no place to wash their hands. There have been tests done which found traces of all kinds of human excrements which should not be there. :)

When my mother was 5 years old she ate fruits and veggies that were not washed and there was a parasite that went behind her eye and made her blind. That came from dirty food. God Bless! YAY FOR THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!
Just the thought of where the people's hands were last- that handle and pick the fruit. YUCK! AND don't forget that if it's not organically grown then you better take into consideration all the pesticide residual on fruits and veggies!
