It’s nice to, especially if you add your own veg. I tend to have around 1 a week sometimes 2.

What i want to know is how long has this contamination been going on? They say that the amounts are small and will not necessarily lead to cancer. Mmm not very reassuring. Think I’ll be giving them a miss for a while.
