Question:
How will those peaches sit out in the open-air market before you buy them? Will the flies swarming around piles of horse manure land on the peaches later? When you get them home, will you wash the peaches? Do you even have running water, or do you get your water from a shallow, hand-dug well in your backyard, drawing water from a water table contaminated by the nearby stable where you keep your own horse, not to mention that privy in the other corner of your garden?

Answer: No wonder the people of the USA want regular drinking water analysis, but never want food-analysis. Because if food analysis was as commonplace as drinking water analysis and placed on food products sold in stores, that all of a sudden the Organic Food Section would be the majority section of the stores. Would you buy a loaf of bread that was a million parts more contaminated with farm chemicals than a loaf of Organic bread that did not have those chemicals?

The BBC World News last night suggested a way for EU countries to get off of farm subsidies. Get off by having farmers convert to Organic Farms where the price of their products is much higher and can sustain farmers without any hand-out subsidies.

But, I recommend also that governments make the Information and knowledge fair to the consumer. If you walk into any foodstore in the USA there is no information as to the contents of the food as far as farm chemicals are concerned.
