I accidentally dropped the tomatoes on the floor so I put them back on the plate because they weren't damaged.
Don't you think washing them off first would have been a better move? They are dirty after being on the floor.
It's hard to disagree with you, but I feel it's not wrong to eat something that falls on the floor without washing it.
You don't think food should be washed after being on the dirty floor, but that is so unsanitary. You could get a disease or illness from eating food that was dropped on the floor. Be careful not to drop anything next time for fear of contaminating someone else.
But the food wasn't damaged, and nobody hurt by it.
Fortunately nothing happened but it's not always the case. Raw vegetables can have germs and bacteria on it so you should wash them off before using.
