I've heard of that too.
My nephew and his wife said that ALL produce gets sprayed before transport, even if it's organic.
Nephew and his wife said it's pretty much the law, because of invasive and or dangerous insects.
(they were into super healthy eating for several years)
The produce guy at Dierbergs said no, if it's organic, it's not been sprayed.
...so, I don't know which to believe, just passing on what's been discussed in my family.
I was following Customs and Border Patrol for awhile on Twitter. They would spot check, all sorts of shipments and post pics of stuff that got caught and refused at the border.
Before Valentine's Day, they were inspecting flowers.
My nephew was telling me about a You Tube documentary/video about bananas, and to only buy organic bananas because in all these third world countries where they grow the bananas, the people who work the fields (banana farms) live all along the edges of the farms, the crop dusters come in and spray and don't care if little kids are in the yard or not.
He said the guy doing the documentary was showing how sick the kids were, and how some had birth defects.
I didn't go look for it, his descriptions were enough for me.
Organic bananas aren't that much more expensive, so I do buy them when I have the choice.
...if we knew half the *real* stories out there regarding our food supply, we'd prob have a hard time eating much of it.
I'll bet!!
That's just awful about those poor kids.
I think you are right about the food. Oh phewww, my least favorite fruit is safeApples are safe,I think
I do try to eat a couple every few weeks though since they are good for you.
