    Yep I think they figure it will soak into the skin. But I did read a Forbes article on those little tomatoes grown in Mexico that taste so good. Turns out the banks make them spray like ten times the allowables we do as they don't want to loan cash and have the crop ruined. But my question is if Forbes knows they are spraying ten times what we allow then why is the government allowing them to be brought in. Like some of that Chinese stuff. Have a great Memorial Day weekend.

    A simple Scientific explanation!

    You use bug spray and wear gloves. Why because while spraying you are in touch with a large quantity.

    A good example of this is alcohol.

    You can drink quite a few ounces with no problem, and your body recovers.

    But you can drink to the point where the alcohol poisons your entire body and you die.

    You wouldn't create many problems that creates jobs if people do not get sick. It's sacrilege to think that people can heal ALL of their illnesses through food. It's imperative that all food be junk, it creates lots of useless jobs. In fact almost all jobs related to health and biotechnology. Keeping those jobs is much more important than having a healthy population because it keeps them busy doing something frivolous instead of thinking.

    We all know that eating "expensive" raw, organic food cures just about all illnesses. We know this a posteriori because a 70 year old who has been eating raw organic looks quite a bit different than a 70 year old who has been eating the crap.

    The logic behind this is that direct contact with skin causes a deeper absorption which is pretty harmful. Of course they say that they 'wash' and 'clean' the crops after spraying. I always wash mine thoroughly because I highly doubt that they care enough to clean off the pesticides.

    They are diluted by the time of harvest.
