Want safe veggies? Grow'em yourself!

Looking at my scary-thing-of-the-day calendar, i see that independent studies have evidently concluded that consumers are most likely to be exposed to high levels of pesticides via bell peppers, celery, carrots, lettuce, potatoes and kale.

This makes sense, as these are all either root vegetables, which would absorb the pesticides in their root, or vegetables that have a high water content but grow close to the ground.

Yup, if you want these veggies, best grow them yourself.
