With arsenic in US grown crops and lead in overseas crops - can't seem to win.

Oh great. For years, books and reports have said to buy imported rice because it rated better on pesticides and toxins than US grown rice, even organic. Now this changes everything.

Ugh. I just want to move to a farm in the middle of a deserted island and grow all my own food.
