You'll Eat a Pound of Dirt In Your Lifetime

It's a fact...well...I googled it.
Still, experts say that we will all eat a pound of dirt over our lifetime.  This is something we find humorous in our family...we live in dirt.
Well, not physically, but practically.  Dear Farmer works in dirt.  The children play on dirt.  The baby crawls on dirt.  The animals are covered in dirt.  We wash dirt off our veggies, strain dirt out of our milk, sweep dirt off the floor, wipe dirt out of eyes, and wash dirt off our hands.  Over half of our septic system must filter out dirt...or input dirt...however you look at it.
In Dear Farmer's world he lives, wears and breathes dirt.  So really, he probably eats about a pound of dirt every week.  We all probably do...the crawling baby most of all.
You guys are probably always sick!  And that, my friends is the beauty of dirt.  The more of it you eat, the healthier you get.  Well, the more ORGANIC dirt you eat...
Dirt builds up your immune system one molecule at a time.  Helping you gain natural immunity to the environment around you. Taking what might have been an allergy, and making into an immuno-booster.
Three cheers for not washing your hands!  No...that's not what I said.  We are still washing the dirt off, we're just not going to "freak out" the minute it gets on you.
