I recently saw or heard a study that showed that organic fruits and vegetables have a recall rate 200% higher than non-organic.People forget the REASON we developed such things as food irradiation, pesticides, etc., is that there are little micro-gizmos out there that would just LOVE to infest our digestive tracts and make us very sick or kill us.
(Okay so I anthropomorphize a smidge. Deal with it.)
When some kids died from drinking unpasteurized Odwalla juice about 3 years ago, all of a sudden we remembered why pasteurization is a good thing, not some evil plot foisted on us by nasty makers of food service equipment.
