Just got an email this morning from the Center for Food Safety. I'm so angry to discover that ORGANIC Apple and Pear farmers are allowed to use ANTIBIOTICS on their Organic crops. Seriously?? Ugghhh!!

Seriously, why would they want to use antibiotics on fruit? Did they say what brand by any chance?

Unless you grow your own food then you really don't know what you are really eating.

I wouldn't worry about it too much though, eat a balanced diet then you won't be eating large amounts of any one food.

Hi Mindy, Thanks, just read it and if they're allowing this, what else is there that we don't know about. Scary.
