RE: Organic Doesn't Always Mean Pesticide-Free
Thanks for your article. It is disheartening to hear of pesticides in our organic foods. But I think this information is limited and misleading. The post mentions sulfur and copper. What would you rather have on your food copper or roundup? Of course organic farming uses deterents for pests, but these are natural. It's still a good idea to wash your produce. Organic farming is not just about pest control either, it is about fertilizer. It is not only the food that should be tested but the earth where it is grown.
Roundup, the most used pesticide in the world has been declared by The World Health organization as "probably cancerous". Should we continue to cover our food and the earth with it? I wrote a post today on this topic.
