Apparently, it’s more accurate to call the following fruits and vegetables “Pesticide Delivery Vehicles”, as the non-organic versions contain…get this…47-62 different types of pesticides PER SERVING!
I cannot understate this…STAY AWAY FROM THIS CRAP and GROW YOUR OWN!!! It’s just another example of the food industry trying to poison us or get us addicted to their junk.
Here’s the dirty dozen:
1. Celery
2. Peaches
3. Strawberries
4. Apples
5. Blueberries
6. Nectarines
7. Sweet bell peppers
8. Spinach, kale and collard greens
9. Cherries
10. Potatoes
11. Imported grapes
12. Lettuce
Personally, I do my own gardening for a number of the items on this list, so at least during the season I don’t have to worry so much about it. I highly recommend this product for getting started with your own vegetables: Organic Home Gardening as well as this beginner’s manual: Organic Garden Beginner’s Manual
For the other products that I can’t grow at home, I buy organic only-I just don’t want to deal with the ill effects from these poisons, from ADHD to a weakened immune system. And I want to be in control over what goes in my body-not some corporate behemoth that cares only about profits!
Stay healthy!
