"After talking with other parents, I realized we all wanted an inexpensive way to feed our children more foods with less pesticide residue. None of us had time and few of us had the space to grow large gardens. I began researching the problem and soon realized a family's intake of pesticides could be substantially reduced by selecting their favorite foods from the EWG's Dirty Dozen list and growing these in containers or small space gardens." - Susan Wittig Albert, Story Circle Book Reviews The Environmental Working Group (EWG) analyzed USDA pesticide residue data and compiled this list of the "top twelve most contaminated fruits and vegetables" About The Author Contents |
