As I was living in lala land last week 😅... the

As I was living in lala land last week 😅... the Environmental Working Group released their annual “Dirty Dozen” list. And once again, they’ve misled consumers about the safety of our produce, thus escalating and perpetuating fears that the most nutritious foods in the world could cause harm. Fear based off a list that’s been repeatedly discredited by scientists year after year and that follows no established, evidence-based methodology to develop.
•
There are some big problems in how the EWG interprets the data from the USDA PDP (pesticide data program) to develop their lists. Mainly, they count all pesticide residue detections equally and don’t consider what the individual pesticides detected are, at what level each individual pesticide was detected and how that level compares to the safety level set by the EPA. Plus, these lists fail to acknowledge that 99% of the conventional produce tested had pesticide residues well below the safety standards set by the EPA and over 40% of produce tested had no detectable pesticide residues whatsoever.
•
Unfortunately, this fear-based messaging can dissuade people from buying and eating produce altogether. One study found that low-income consumers were less likely to buy ANY produce (organic or conventional) when they heard inaccurate messaging about pesticide residues and the DD list. Another study noted that some participants believed health issues including cancer & weight gain can arise from consuming nonorganic foods 😢 Not cool, not cool!
•
This is not meant as an anti-organic post – if you prefer organic produce and have the budget to buy it, then go for it! But you can rest-assured that all produce – whether conventional or organic – in any form – fresh, frozen or canned – is safe and nutritious.
•
Please, for the love of fruits and veggies just eat more produce!💕

(Thanks to @shawsimpleswaps for reminding me that the list came out 😅)

Nothing like warm blueberry pancakes on a rainy Su

Nothing like warm blueberry pancakes on a rainy Sunday morning! 🥞 I used @wymansfruit frozen wild blueberries in the batter - no need to thaw them or anything. I like that wild blueberries are a lot smaller than regular ones but also have a sweeter more intense blueberry taste 🫐
•
•
• 1 cups rolled oats
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1/3 cup 2% Greek yogurt
• 1 egg
• 1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
• 1.5 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1.5 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1/8 tsp salt
• Frozen wild blueberries
Blend oats in a blender until flour like. Add everything but the blueberries, and blend until just combined. For each pancake, scoop 1/4 cup batter onto a greased and heated skillet & immediately top with some frozen bluebs, flip after a few minutes.
