Chemicals in our food are not discussed as they should be. Fruits and vegetables are directly treated with pesticides, sometimes only days or hours before being shipped to market. While the pesticide chemicals are likely to remain present in or on the fruits and vegetables in large amounts while the foods await purchase on grocery store shelves, we want to know:

Are some fruits and vegetables more likely than others to carry pesticide residues?

Yes. According to the Environmental Working Group, which produces an annual “dirty dozen” list of fruits and vegetables containing the highest pesticide residues, the most pesticide-heavy types of produce, as of 2016, were:

Strawberries

Apples

Peaches

Celery

Grapes

Cherries

Spinach

Tomatoes

Sweet bell peppers

Cherry tomatoes

Cucumbers

Fruits and vegetables with soft skins and edible outer layers are more likely to deliver pesticides in human consumption than those with removable skins and shells. Conversely, the EWG’s “clean fifteen,” the least pesticide-burdened fruits and vegetables are:

Avocados

Sweet corn

Pineapples

Cabbage

Sweet peas

Onions

Asparagus

Mangoes

Papayas

Kiwi

Eggplant

Honeydew melon

Grapefruit

Cantaloupe

Cauliflower

Regardless of which list a food item lands on, it behooves consumers to wash all produce thoroughly before consuming it (particularly greens and anything with a waxy coating).

You were angry because you wanted to control me and couldn't. I was angry because I refuse to be controlled, yet you kept trying. You tried tirelessly to make it seem like it wasn't as simple as it actually was. I'm no longer buying it. The fire of my anger was lit the first time I felt controlled, before you even came along. It is now MY fire and only I can control the flame.

No gods. No masters. Not even you. Not anyone above you. Not anyone below you.
