A slice of lemon in a glass of water at a restaurant

most restaurants use the same knife that has been cutting meat to cut lemons and/or used the same cutting board for both. Hence, it's the cross-contamination.

I don't believe this is correct. In most establishments the bar is responsible for cutting
up all the garnishes for drinks. Also most places buy their meat precut to portion size
and even if they do cut their own meat, the knife used for that is vastly different
than a knife used for cutting garnishes.
That's what I was thinking.

We do usually order this. Makes the water taste better, you drink more... plus it spikes your metabolism and it's an easy trick to burn more calories. I remember reading of one study that found more fecal matter in ice than in the toilet of the same restaurant.
