Don Chance Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Do you do any special preparation to your fruits and vegetables to remove pesticide residue? Avoid certain produce? Probably fish is the safest. Chicken is exported and maybe checked for pesticide content. Are they still using banned pesticides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Nothing Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I clean all my produce by soaking in soapy water and rinsing off with distilled water and have never had a problem. A few years ago we were watching a fruit lady spraying all her produce with bug spray at the local fruit market right in front of us to keep insects from eating her merchandise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not suppose to be good, the vegetables will absorb the soap and not rinse off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fieldsofgreen Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Yes, farmer next door sprays asparagus day before sale. He is dying in forties because of pesticides. Eat organic or grow your own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is dying in forties because of pesticides. Eat organic or grow your own. It’s a myth that organic produce is grown without pesticides. In fact they are grown with “organic” rather than synthetic pesticides, but that says nothing about the toxicity of the pesticides. Many “organic” pesticides are more toxic than synthetic pesticides. Certainly organic farming is much worse for the environment because crop yields are lower, requiring more land to grow the same amount of food.
