Kind of a negative Nancy headline. I would have said “Most baby food does not contain pesticides!”
Reporting is all so senationalisitc and doom and gloom these days.
If this claim were true (I see comments saying it’s probably biased), 40% is an extremely high number. Baby’s could eat like 10 to 20 (ballpark example figure, I know it varies) jars of baby food every week, it would suck if 4 to 8 of them had toxins. It’s not like it’s a whole fruit you can wash off. I agree with your point about unnecessary gloom in the news, but I don’t think there’s really much of a bright side to 60% uncontaminated baby food. If they took figures like 5% and sensationalized it I’d agree with you more. 60% is barely “most.”
It’s the EWG making the claim. They’re a well known pseudoscience and fearmongering group. They also pushed the “vaccines cause autism” claim in the past.
