I actually discussed both posts with my wife (@lamouthe) this morning. Very interestingly, we were saying that all this pesticide stuff should be even more worrying. Even if in principle, everything is under control and we only end up with harmless tracks of pesticide in the everyday-life products (this is proven in many cases), the problem is that quantity is non zero. Once integrated over all the products we eat, who know whether this is really so harmless?

And there is very little way to know (pesticides do not respect borders, etc...).
