USDA report says pesticide residues in food nothing to fear

Would you eat the apple from my back yard if I told you it still had pesticides on it, even after washing it? Our government still deems residual pesticides on our food as “generally safe.” I love how the EPA approved  Monsanto’s request for increasing these generally safe levels. From infant formula to apple juice, these pesticides are everywhere.
Mercury was once safe for human consumption by our government and used as a treatment for medical issues; of course, now we know it’s toxic.  Don’t trust the USDA: buy local, organic, basic foods.
