(36,925 posts)Nobody in this thread is saying pesticides in food isn't a "serious" issue. Such things should be regulated, tested, and monitored by the FDA and CDC and most certainly are, except for organic pesticides which curiously aren't so well regulated even though many of them are more toxic than their synthetic alternatives.
If you are under the impression that organically certified food doesn't contain pesticide, you are most certainly wrong. If you are under the impression that organically certified food doesn't contain synthetic pesticide, you are also most certainly wrong. If you are under the impression that organically certified food is somehow safer than the alternative, then please present your evidence, as I have yet to see any that doesn't include a heaping helping of woo.
I prefer to let the other side be the anti-science party. YMMV.
