Captain Kirk- In re: DDT --From what I can determine the persistent and powerful pesticide DDT is banned in only 49 countries presently. Third world countries continue its use. "South American, Asian and African countries continue to use DDT, contributing to global con- tamination." It is still widely used in Mexico which agreed in 1996/7 to phase out DDT production and application within 10 years. DDT was banned in the USA in 1972. Please see: natsci.ucsc.edu health.fgov.be wwf.org Ps. This discussion today on Mexican produce and the like has been most informative. Henceforth, our household shall be inclined to purchase only US produce and other foodstuffs whenever possible.
