Pesticides, herbicides, and other agricultural chemicals are
omnipresent in the food supply, the result of a chemical industry
run amuck in the halls of congress. The best way to reduce your
intake of these harmful substances is to follow the vegan lifestyle.
Plant foods contain some of these organic chemical residues, but
the fatty tissues of animals have absorbed and concentrated them
roughly ten-fold.
Buying organically grown vegetables is a good way to further
reduce exposure to chemical residue, but it's senseless to rely
only on this strategy while still eating the high-fat, high-pesticide
animalfoods.
