Farms Rely on Pesticides

 

Considering that today is Valentine’s Day, it seems fitting to share the article below:

Colombia Flower Farms Rely on Pesticides

One quote of particular interest is listed below:

“Every time we look, we’re finding out these pesticides are more dangerous than we ever thought before and more toxic at lower levels,” said Philippe Grandjean, who led the Harvard study published last year.*****Unfortunately, these pesticides are often used on fruits and veggies which are then purchased by health conscious consumers.

I am not trying to scare anyone, but we should all be aware of the chemicals that are added to our food supply.

If organic produce is available, I highly recommend it.
