The proverb "You must eat a peck of dirt before you die" likely originated from the belief that exposure to dirt and germs helps build immunity and strengthens the body's defenses against diseases. The saying emphasizes the idea that a certain amount of exposure to dirt and germs is inevitable and even beneficial for overall health. It serves as a reminder that perfection is unattainable and that some level of imperfection or adversity is a natural part of life.
