ABC News Report: Pesticides on Produce

     A recent Purdue University study found that there are pesticides on many fresh fruits and vegetables in the produce section of most grocery stores. I don't think that information comes as a surprise to anyone but did you know that pesticides were also found inside fruit after it's been peeled. You may also be surprised to know that pesticides were found after rinsing fruit for at least ten seconds. Now I am the last person to discourage people from eating fresh fruits and vegetables, but I do want to make people aware of what happens to their produce before it reaches the grocery store shelves.
