Would you??

Its almost spring and time to plant our vegetables and flowers.  And when the rain is slow to come, we get out our garden hoses to water them.  The same hoses that have the label "do not drink water from this hose, the inside is lined with toxic chemicals".  What do you think?  Should we water our vegetables with a hose from which we are warned not to drink? If we do use these hoses for our garden, should we eat the food?  Again I ask.  Would you??
