| Jun 10, 2015 at 17:58 | comment | added | Dave Liu | I've researched pesticides a lot in the past few years and have done a few comparison studies of my own. :) (Fun fact: vinegar can be used for cleaning as well as killing/repelling common house crickets) | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 17:54 | comment | added | Dave Liu | @jiggunjer Almost all producers use some form of pesticide. Produce that doesn't use pesticide is susceptible to massive crop-destruction. Although groups like this: sustainabletable.org/263/pesticides attempt to use less pesticides, they still resort to pesticides when all else fails because it's most the most time/money efficient solution. (Eg: Mechanical traps = $$$ in setup/maintenance and can't be used everywhere.) Stanford researchers have a reputation that I doubt they would want to risk by using non-conventional comparisons (that is, organic foods that don't use Ps). | |
| Jun 10, 2015 at 17:44 | comment | added | Dave Liu | @jiggunjer organic components tend to decompose more easily due to the nature of their components. You could even consider vinegar or cocoa to be organic pesticides. Synthetic pesticides are things that aren't found in nature, so then if they can't be found in nature, that tends to indicate they cannot be processed by nature, or are hard to, because bacteria, fungi and etc. aren't used to breaking it down. | |
| May 22, 2015 at 19:31 | comment | added | jiggunjer | Regarding 2 claims about pesticides(Ps) in this answer. First, why do you say organic Ps decompose better than synthetic ones? This seems like a hasty generalization. Second, the stanford paper mentions there is less Ps on/in food, but this is an average that might be pulled down by organic food that completely omits Ps. The measurement in the organic case should only include products that use Ps, IMO. | |
