Report: Unsafe food putting lives at risk

1. "acceptable levels"

On Anderson Cooper this week a woman who visited a family-owned farm discovered that "organic" produce can still have pesticides, but because those pesticides are at what the FDA considers acceptable levels, they can still be sold as organic.

I did not know that.

Then I read an article in Psychology Today (Nov. issue I think?) that talked about research being done that scientists think will show that even at the acceptable levels for some pesticides, there can be an adverse effect on humans.

I'm going to start asking about the organic produce I buy, and rinse the HELL out of everything.
