Not many legumes made the list. Maybe that's a good thing. :crossfingers:

It looks like the same top 10 or 12 most contaminated foods from about ten years ago are still on the list.
Its also important to avoid produce from many foreign countries, as they still use DDT, and though in the US its illegal to use it, its not illegal to import foods contaminated with it. How's that for rational? :drool:

Do imports have to be labeled as such, or do we have to ask where everything is grown? :dancepickl:
