The Other Food Group: Pesticides!

Published on: February 2, 1999

The Environmental Working Group has an interactive website which allows you to enter the food you eat and find out the Unsustainable businesses you support. The powerful search engine matches your food selection against more than 90,000 government lab test results for pesticides in food. You can select a full day’s worth of meals and find out what pesticides you ate, or select a single item like an apple. The program matches it with the results of 2,500 batches of apples tested for pesticides by the US Department of Agriculture.

You can voice your concern through emails to supermarket chains, food companies, and Washington. And it just might give you the impetus to support the Sustainable organic industry. This website gets 5 stars.
