A reason to always choose organic produce
There are lots of reasons to choose organic produce. If you want one
more, here's a story about how nicotine-based pesticides damage bees,
and appear to be contributing to "Colony Collapse Disorder". If we lose
bees, a lot of our food supply is going to disappear. Not a good thing.
