Lots of fun for you in this poster that was already in the post. Check the usda site for pesticide risks - not cdc. Unfortunately for those of you who like to eat them, pesticides are one of the "least tested" of all the toxins for human consumption and not required on labels. This is another area that many countries - including where I live - do not allow 100's of the us products to cross their borders and get into the food.

I suggest asking a few produce managers in your local area if they will eat non-organic potatoes. When I did this at least 10 years ago not one of them would. Many people I am connected with over the years have tried this simple and non-scientific test. Some of them decided to go clean for the sake of their health others don't care and still eat fast food fries anyway.
