Legal does not mean safe

For the more than 70% of non-organic produce with detectable pesticides, nearly all of the levels fall under the legal limits allowed by government regulations.

But legal does not always mean safe.

Pesticides are toxic by design. Although they’re meant to kill pests such as fungi, insects and plants, many pesticides are also linked to serious human health issues, including hormone disruption, brain and nervous system toxicity and cancer.

Organic or not always wash produce. Mr A likes to live dangerously and never washes his. *gag*

Coffee is another thing I've gotten picky about. I spend a little more to get the mold free and make it in a french press. It tastes better, I don't have a giant machine on my counter, and I think I feel better - that could be psychosomatic but if it makes me feel good, whatever.
