Pretty But Deadly

Summer is here! It's 'Stone Fruit' season! I love nectarines and peaches. But, a pretty peach can contain tons of pesticides. According to the USDA, peach skins are doused with as many as nine different pesticides to prevent blemishes. That’s why peaches are a good food to buy organic. Otherwise, wash them thoroughly before biting in.

What do those codes really mean?

OK, we have been seeing them for years. Codes, codes, everywhere codes. Hey, must be some way for the farmer to tell how much he has in stock right? Wrong! These codes tell you if the produce you are buying is organic or genetically modified. Now next time you see these codes, you'll know. Now go tell a friend!
