i have to agree with about all that i have seen posted on this subject, it brought to mine a subject that has been discussed at my favorite tractor forum, there is a tomato blight that is razing havoc on the eastern seaboard that has a lot of farmers plowing under their tomato crops.
the article http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/18/nyreg ... atoes.html gives all the particulars. the thing that really got my attention was the treatment that is available to the commercial farmers. cancer causing carcigens that i wouldn't want to touch let alone consume.
i'll stick to my righteous way of eating and my over concern.
