Are you eating foods from the "Dirty Dozen?"

Every year the Environmental Working Group releases its "Dirty Dozen" list of the twelve produce items with the most pesticide residue. Spoiler alert: they're probably all in your fridge.

But is this list as meaningful as it sounds? Are pesticides as scary as you think? And does "organic" mean what you've been led to believe? Let's share some food safety awareness and align it with responsible food practices, shall we?

Food Safety News: uh oh, a hepatitis outbreak in frozen strawberries! And making grilled cheese sandwiches in your toaster oven... a good idea?

(DISCLAIMER: No, it is a terrible idea, DO NOT BURN DOWN YOUR HOME)
