One wants to eat healthy but then one finds out ....

EWG analyzed pesticide residue testing data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration to come up with rankings for the following popular fresh produce items. All 48 foods are listed below from worst to best - lower numbers indicate more pesticides.

https://www.ewg.org/foodnews/list.php


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

When I consider the daily quantity I consume of just the worst two on that list (also nature's Viagra...lol) and many others (didn't feel like pulling out half my fridge), it's scary. I don't eat organic either, unless it's my only option.

Very large SimHQ mug for reference...

Considering that the list of 48 foods contains 51 items, I would be hesitant to put any faith in this group's ability to do any sort of statistical analysis.

"Note: EWG analyzed pesticide tests of 48 popular produce items. Domestic and imported versions of two items – blueberries, green beans and snap peas - showed sharply different results, so we have ranked those domestic and imported items separately. As a result, the Shopper's Guide displays 51 entries."

They also don't talk about levels. Not all amounts of pesticides are harmful.

And one should always wash produce before eating it.

I will refrain from openly commenting on the cutesy GMO tag line on the bottom, as I don't want this to wind up in PWEC.

We eat, breath and absorb toxins into our body everyday so there's nothing we can do but to enjoy eating these food and hope for the best each day.

They were part of the goody pack handed out at the last SimHQ Tower barbecue and Vegas weekend.

I could tell more, but what happens in Vegas...

Ordered off the website. But now that you mention it, I don't see it available anymore.

Man, we had Ralphie only 2 weeks when my swag arrived, I guess that was 9 years ago! Damn, time really flies fast, doesn't it?

EDIT: Ah, there it is (just Motorsports though?)...

We tried it briefly, but it was more trouble than it was worth.

You wind up with too much of what you grow and then most of it goes bad.
