I mostly use WF 365 Brand Organic canned legumes, which are not supposed to be treated w/ any glyphosate, however I looked it up and found that WF hummus and my favorite Sabra hummus both have high levels of glyphosate. Damn! I love hummus. I might have to get a mini food processor and start making my own.

I sometimes wonder if there is anything safe left to eat. Animal products are bad, plants are loaded with pesticides, how do we find things that aren't bad for us? I live in a city or else i would have my own garden like we did when I was growing up.
