In a lively segment, Corby Kummer takes listeners on a journey from the fields to the fancy water bottles lining upscale shelves. He starts by tackling the “Dirty Dozen” list, a notorious roll call of pesticide-laden produce that now includes unsuspecting staples like potatoes and blackberries. Kummer emphasizes that while these fruits might be a health risk for consumers, they pose an even greater danger to farm workers, who bear the brunt of pesticide exposure. His advice? Wash your produce thoroughly—after all, no one wants to transfer pesticide residues from their knife to their salad!

Corby then dives into the world of fine waters, where hydration meets high society. He reveals the irony that many so-called premium waters are just filtered municipal supplies, dressed up in fancy bottles to appeal to discerning palates. As he recounts his experiences at water tastings, Corby highlights the absurdity of paying top dollar for something that might just be glorified tap water.
