By at least buying organic you can support the farmer who has to jump through many hoops for cert. It does matter, you can be assured of that. Tough to grow and maintain purity? Yes, but the options are dismal.

I bought this:

Then i come to find out that Bill gates Apeel is being used on their apples, katy perry being one of the big investors in the company.

Apeel is approved by the FDA, as GRAS,

Claiming it is organic.

I cant say it is, or isnt. Trusting anything BG or FDA approved is just not in my wheelhouse anymore

I buy local from farmers whenever possible, as it is the only choice that i have any faith in being truly organic, whatever organic really means under the current cataclysm we are living under

Yes, I read that too, consumer beware. I too, buy at the co-op and know where their food comes from. I pay closer attention than ever before.

I eat a lot of blue berries, mainly from South America, Fuji apples and bananas. I always peel the apples. I should wash the BBs with treated water. I know there is a product available specifically for making water for rinsing foods and cleaning surfaces. Just can't remember the name of it. It also purifies water for drinking.

I've seen that advertised but never bought any. The one I researched last year was a counter top machine that 'cured' for a better word, the water you put in it. I think they also supplied an additive. I'm at a loss. It was around $150.

There are veg. and fruit washes that spray on, or you can soak them. I take the easier way out with the spray. Reverse osmosis is our water treatment, it is also recommended by the "Midwestern Doctor" I think the water tastes noticeably better. Under the counter or on top.
