John on ABC was dead wrong on this one. And the USDA? Who are they kidding? They're mostly a bunch of second-class test tube rattlers that would be hard-pressed to find a job in the real world.

I wonder if ABC News was influenced by the fact that a significant portion of their advertising revenue is paid by the large food processors like Kraft and others?

To make sure your tomatoes are safe you should have the soil tested.

<<I am getting ready to eat one of my own truly organic tomatoes (no herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers). Just growing from the good mother earth.>>

Cute but in reality something fertilized the ground and if new fertilizers aren't added you would be out of tomatoes. We have people coming out and taking home horse shit so they can grow "organtic" veggies. We worm our horses so there is some chemicals in the apples but since these people have cockleburr growing in their gardens they think it's chemical free. The term organic only means containing carbon.
