Poison in the food

662

Editor,

In case you are concerned with cancer, folks, take a look at this Environmental Working Group’s list of highly sprayed poisonous vegetables and fruits: strawberries, apples, nectarines, peaches, celery, grapes, cherries, spinach, tomatoes, sweet bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, kale, collard greens.

I who survived ovarian cancer eat only organic food. I buy from our Farmers’ Market and Eureka Market, and Ozark Natural Food in Fayetteville.  I also try to grow as much food as I can without enough sun.

Mr. Trump, et al., could attempt to control these pesticides but he (and other Republicans) are busy yelling, cursing, and hating. I wonder why our government allows these poisons? Lobbyists?
