Modern industrial farming is a fact of life. Unfortunately, pesticides used in agricultural practices can be harmful, especially for our children. The statistics are alarming:

•  The average American child gets 5+ servings pesticide residues in their food and water every day. whatsonmyfood.org (Pesticide Action Network)
•  Relative to their weight and size, children ingest more food and drink more water and breathe more air than adults. http://www.nrdc.org/health/kids/ocar/chap2.asp
•  888 million lbs of pesticides are applied each year in the US.  That’s 3 lbs per person.epa.gov
•  Each year roughly 1 in 6 Americans (or 48 million people) get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die of foodborne diseases. www.cdc.gov/foodborneburden/
•  Less than 1% of the produce that comes into the USA is inspected. Government officials simply cannot regulate our borders with volumes such as these.http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/MONEY/INDUSTRIES/FOOD/2007-03-18-FOOD-SAFETY-USAT_N.htm
•  According to the Environmental Working Group, 1 out of 4 times a child under 6 years of age eats a peach, he or she is exposed to an unsafe dose of insecticides.
•  45 different pesticide residues were detected in one strawberry sample. whatsonmyfood.org (Pesticide Action Network)
•  6 suspected hormone disruptors were found on cranberries. These chemicals are linked to cancers, obesity, and developmental disorders. whatsonmyfood.org (Pesticide Action Network)
•  It takes, on average, approximately 12 countries to fill up a grocery aisle in your local grocery store. Initially discovered on 20/20, CHR conducts samplings periodically and consistently discovers 12-16 different countries in various major chain grocery stores.
