It is really an extremely “lazy” analysis for a group that has the word “work” in its name. I’ve done an analysis of the pesticides that are actually used on Celery in California. I would be interested in your reaction to this analysis. I’d be particularly interested in your views on “heavy metal” Organic pesticides containing copper.
