The Dirty Secret Behind Organic Strawberries: Starter Plants Are Fumigated With Pesticides! — 2 Comments

  1. I was unaware of the gaping loophole which allows companies to claim their produce is organic when it really isn’t what the consumer is expecting. The problem is that powerful special interests with huge amounts of money write the regulations. You can’t trust the government or government agencies to do what’s right. What I am really most concerned about is avoiding glyphosate. It usually isn’t possible to get organic produce for everything in one’s diet.

    • It can be difficult to determine what foods are truly organic. The best solution is to buy locally and know your farmer whenever possible. For items you can’t buy locally, buy organic whenever available. Buying organic at least makes it more likely, although not guaranteed, that there are fewer pesticides on the food. There are reputable online sources of many nutritious foods. Look through our Resources page for links to some of these. Another way to find quality produce is through your Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF) chapter. For greater Houston area food sources, go to the Local Food & Milk page of the Houston WAPF chapter website. For other areas, go to the Find a Local Chapter page on the website of the WAPF.
