Fwd: Organic News, Events & Resources


What's On My Food Database. If you ever have wondered about pesticides on your food, or in your drinking water, in particular which of those pesticides are most hazardous, the California-based group Pesticide Action Network North America (PANNA) has just the resource for you. Today, PANNA launched a detailed and informative website -www.whatsonmyfood.org. The site hosts an easy-to-use, searchable database of government test results for pesticide residues in food. The database shows what pesticides are found on each food, in what amount, and, for the first time, links those residues to the health effects associated with exposure to each of the chemicals.
