That would explain the news reports that are out about every week on the
excess pesticide residues found on produce from outside the US that has been
imported. On average, about 3% at illegal levels, while some crops are much
higher.  And of course, the rest are not being said to be pesticide free,
just at legal levels.  And no measurements of the intrinsic pesticides from
GMO style crops (although, I suppose, since bT is not targeted at humans, it
must not really count).  I don't think Consumer Reports would be my bible
for evaluating pesticide contamination.

This sounds good but is not backed up by facts. Even Consumer Reports finds
either no or little contamination of foods by pesticides. Were it true, it
would be all over the news.
