Re: Chart of Conventional Produce w/ Least Amount Pesticides

That's a pretty chart.

Since its customary to reference the works of others when conveyed, it's clear that this must be your own original work. Would you care to elaborate on where you got the data from ?

Thanks !

Since countries outside the US are not held to the same regulatory standards as regards which pesticides are permissible, one fruit, viz., raspberries, which are derived from say Chile and on sale in US stores during February- April is likely to contain pesticides which are different that raspberries which derive from Washington State in August. Since all compounds falling under the generic definition of "pesticides" are not equivalent in terms of their toxicity / hazards to humans, I don't feel comfortable in drawing any conclusions from the chart. i.e., I can apply dilute brewed coffee mixed with a little cayenne pepper to my tomatoes and it functions as an effective pesticide, but so too does rotenone dust.
