@gmhippie ..."The data is raw and admittedly incomplete (and perhaps even under-reported), but it gives you a general idea of the scale. And thats just a single crop, in a single state, using only reported tomato acreage. There are hundreds more, and each one is apparently drenched in chemicals. Organic, then, is about much more than small micronutrient differences. Its about avoiding the flood of artificial chemicals, which the study did not address."

@gmhippie Via Mark' s Daily Apple Part I "If youre interested in just how many pesticides you may be ingesting, the PAN Pesticides Database deserves a look. Its limited to California data, but you can obtain full listings of what pesticides were used on which crops. Go to Tomatoes for Processing, (soups, sauces, etc) for example, and youll see that over 10 million gross pounds of chemicals were applied to tomatoes intended for processing."

@gmhippie I worry about it plenty when I hear that Monsanto is creating foods that are resistant to things like Roundup, which is then liberally sprayed on produce. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to consume that on any level, no matter how small. We didn't have studies on smoking for a long time either. With that said, you should absolutely wash everything you eat regardless of whether it is organic or not.

There are no studies that show the level of pesticide residue on fruits or veggies is at a harmful level to humans....if you worry about that and can afford to eat all organic thats great, but there is no reason to avoid normal produce, just wash it first. Also most problems with produce are the unclean hands of the pickers not the growing habbits of the farmer.

@lovefaithpurity Occasionally. I gave it up for almost a year. I really can't eat a big steak or a really fat cut like short ribs anymore. It just messes with my digestion. I do eat lean ground beef, but I prefer the turkey.
