In the Whole Foods I go to they literally have separate knives for the

organic meats and chicken and fish, nothing is ever mixed.

I undertand your point about the labeling as it is also done somewhat like

that in WF. Only its on the top and the organic area is clearly defined.

The WF by me is *shopped* and they actually were written up for organic

foods touching the conventionally grown, this wa disclosed to me by the

manager. He asked if I saw anything to please let him know as it is

against corporate policy.

Hydrating veggies with percholate laden water is not going to wash off as

the water is meant to saok into it.

Remember one thing water is the universal solvent (if I remember my

college organic) and most pesticides are misible in water ????????? I am

only saying that as most of them claim to be mixed with water..there could

be alcohol basedones...Steve Tvedent of www.getipm.com would be the source

for that particular information. HE used to be an exterminator unless he

was poisoned, his kids and grandkids I beleive he said he carried some of

the

residual effects of such.

I still think that it carries over. If water is *rolled* over by

something with perfume, that perfume smell is going to be a lower level

..carried by the water
