Pesticides are toxic to 
plants, animals, and you!
Our primary exposure to pesticides is
through our diet because many pesticides
are absorbed by plants
and cannot be washed off.
The best way to protect yourself from
pesticides is to stop eating them!
A 2019 study found that families put
on an organic diet had significant
reductions in 13 different
pesticides in their urine.
Take a look at this graph.
The blue bars show the pesticide levels
in their urine eating their normal diet.
And the green bars show the 
pesticides in their urine after only 6 days
of eating only organic food.
Crazy right?
Pesticide exposure has been linked to
lower cognitive scores and behavior
inattention problems in children,
as well as asthma, cancer,
and reproductive and
endocrine system disorders.
An organic diet dramatically drops your
exposure to pesticides and lowers your
risk of pesticide-related illnesses.
If you think organic food is expensive,
try getting sick.
Buying organic is
investing in your health.
Beyond that the more of
us that buy organic food,
the cheaper it will become for everyone.
We can transform our food system.
