Ag Fact of the Month

Myth: "Use of pesticides is causing environmental and human illness problems. Meat contains more pesticides than do plant-source foods."

Fact: "Government data indicate that, for both plant and animal foods, there is no evidence of chemicals at anything more than a fraction of tolerance levels proven to be safe. USDA's official report for 1989 on residue monitoring of meat showed no violative pesticide resides in beef."
