| chikka2...believe what you want, but you might actually want to educate yourself in this area. The danger posed by pesticides, like any potential poison, are "in the dose", meaning there's a certain level required to pose ANY potential risk, and those levels are THOUSANDS of times higher than any level you will ever be exposed to in foods. Unfortunately, though, many (most?) people have no clue about this, and (like you) have been programmed to fear what they don't understand. There are a lot of people out there getting their jollies (and making lots of money) by scaring people about crap like this. Fear is a powerful motivator. So, if you want to pay 3-4 times the price to buy "healthier" organic foods, then go for it. But you're wasting your money.
Sorry for the long post. I just get frustrated when a well-meaning person like yourself has been brainwashed into believing the fruits and vegetables they consume are hurting them. It simply isn't true. |
