The organic movement has infiltrated our minds and told us for years that all those pesticides on "normal" apples are bad and dangerous for us.

The truth us that you hardly find truly untreated & un-sprayed apples in organic markets.

Most unsprayed apple would have very ugly looking brown spots and often a peel – not the healthy and shiny natural look we are used to.

Many organic orchards use copper spray to keep their apples in shape. Copper is not a pesticide, but certainly not beneficial for humans either and our water supply.

Mass Food Production is a tricky thing and we might have to accept that almost all forms of mass production will put a strain on nature.
