I can't believe how many pesticides (POISENS_ are sprayed on the 12 top things that we eat and ASSUME are safe to eat. Please check out these facts regarding:
Beef There's the likelihood that chicken, pork, and cow feed is grown with the help of pesticides, antibiotics and chemicals. Similar to milk and milk-based dairy products, many chemical pesticides could end up in the animal, which may end up in you.
Dairy products contain pesticides, antibioltics, and bovine growth hormones.
Coffee Many countries where coffee beans come from DO NOT regulate use of
pesticides at all!
Peaches 45 different pesticides
Apples scrubbing and peeling apples does not remove pesticides
Bell Peppers 40 Pesticides
Cellery 29 pesticides
Strawberries 500 pounds of pesticides per acre
Lettuces Sprayed with the most potent of pesticides
Grapes 35 pesticides
Potatoes Ranks HIGHEST for Pesticides
Tomatoes 30 pesticides
My question is, for the sake of growing food and making a decent income farming, how can farmers knowingly do this to us?
I wish there was some other way to grow food and keep the bugs out of what we grow! Who can afford to eat organic full time on everyones budget?
