This is an interesting tidbit I found on the Organic Consumer's Association website:
The US exports annually 100 - 150 million tons of banned (in the US) pesticides, and then imports fruit which may be grown using these pesticides.

YES!
Sad isnt it!
Then the U.S. turns around and buys the produce!

ie.
Chili veggies..(our winter fruit in the stores)
