FRUIT OF THE DOOM
Apples, grapes, and other common foods often have pesticide residues that
exceed safe levels for children, according to a food-safety report
released this week by Consumers Union.  The U.S. EPA is expected today to
ban most home uses of the pesticide chlorpyrifos, commonly known as
Dursban, but Consumers Union is urging the agency to go further by more
tightly controlling about 20 other chemicals that are responsible for
most toxic residues found on foods.  Still, Consumers Union is not urging
parents to stop feeding their children fruits and vegetables.  The group
says people can limit pesticide exposure by washing produce well and
peeling it, or by purchasing organic foods.
