Some break down when exposed to heat. But I do believe that if we all make a few changes - I plan to use a LOT fewer potatoes from now on, so I can buy a bag of organic ones once in a while, for example - it can make a big difference on our health and on the growers' desires to do better.Esterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934256824361733440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269979802232920715.post-76174678161032194102012-11-11T21:13:02.235+02:002012-11-11T21:13:02.235+02:00I think it's more than just a problem of pesti...I think it's more than just a problem of pesticide residue. When the pesticides get into the soil then the plants take them up so pesticides can be found inside the produce as well. Can't wash that off! Organic produce is expensive. I think that even if we just buy one or two types of organic fruits or vegetables we are reducing the toxic load in our bodies.

I know that recently they have been exposed to have especially high levels if pesticides, but there are some brands of "bug free" vegetables that are grown hydroponically in greenhouses. Wouldn't pesticide levels be lower in those cases?Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923040118350839341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269979802232920715.post-91857879268544209642012-11-09T12:06:51.325+02:002012-11-09T12:06:51.325+02:00Two things: 1) if consumers speak with their pocke...Two things: 1) if consumers speak with their pocketbooks, things will change. The negative publicity can make a big difference. In the U.S., the clean and dirty list really has made changes, and you see some things moving off the dirty list as the agricultural community realizes just how damaging the negative publicity is.<br />2) I read somewhere that 30 pesticides that are banned elsewhere Esterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934256824361733440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269979802232920715.post-29552804625314948462012-11-09T12:04:39.414+02:002012-11-09T12:04:39.414+02:00Penny, I know.
