That's probably got more to do with the low cost of produce and high rates of drug usage in the average kitchen, better safe than sorry especially for a head of lettuce that costs a dollar or whatever.
Also kitchens are frequently greasy so it might not be practical to clean some types of produce.
Also shit that gets dropped often bruises and again, produce specifically tends to be a tiny fraction of costs.
I think I understand why the people at kitchenconfidential were mocking you.
