Aia nā pesticides a me nā kemika ʻē aʻe ma aneane nā mea āpau āu e ʻai ai mai ka hale kūʻai meaʻai a i kāu papaʻaina. Akā ua hōʻuluʻulu mākou i kahi papa inoa o nā huaʻai he 12 i loaʻa pinepine nā kemika, a me nā huaʻai he 15 i emi loa ka loaʻa ʻana o nā kemika.
Inā paha ʻoe e kūʻai i nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu hou loa, kūʻai ma ka ʻāpana organik o ka hale kūʻai nui, a i ʻole e ʻohi lima i nā paona o nā peach mai kahi mahiʻai kūloko, pono e holoi ʻia ma mua o ka ʻai ʻana a i ʻole ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana.
Ma muli o ka pōʻino o nā bacteria e like me E. coli, salmonella, a me listeria, ka haumia kea, nā lima o haʻi, a me nā kemika like ʻole e waiho ana ma nā mea kanu ma ke ʻano o nā pesticides a i ʻole nā mea mālama, pono e holoi ʻia nā mea kanu a pau i loko o ka poho holoi ma mua o ko lākou hiki ʻana i kou waha. ʻAe, ʻo ia hoʻi nā mea kanu organik, ʻoiai ʻaʻole manaʻo ka organik he ʻole ka pesticide; ʻo ia hoʻi ke ʻano he manuahi nā pesticides ʻawahia, he kuhihewa maʻamau ia i waena o ka hapa nui o nā mea kūʻai hale kūʻai.
Ma mua o kou hopohopo nui ʻana e pili ana i nā koena pesticide i loko o kāu mau mea kanu, e noʻonoʻo ua ʻike ka USDA's Pesticide Data Program (PDF) he ʻoi aku ma mua o 99 pakeneka o nā mea kanu i hoʻāʻo ʻia he mau koena ma nā pae i hoʻokō i nā kūlana palekana i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e ka Environmental Protection Agency, a he 27 pakeneka ʻaʻohe koena pesticide i ʻike ʻia.
I ka pōkole: Ua maikaʻi kekahi mau koena, ʻaʻole maikaʻi ʻole nā kemika āpau i ka meaʻai, a ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hopohopo inā poina iā ʻoe e holoi i kekahi mau huaʻai a me nā mea kanu. ʻO nā ʻāpala, no ka laʻana, ua uhi ʻia me ka wax papa meaʻai e pani i ka wax maoli e holoi ʻia i ka wā o ke kaʻina holoi ma hope o ka ʻohi ʻana. ʻO ka nui o nā pesticides i ka maʻamau ʻaʻole i loaʻa ka hopena koʻikoʻi i kou olakino, akā inā hopohopo ʻoe e pili ana i ka hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia i nā pesticides a i ʻole nā kemika ʻē aʻe i ka meaʻai āu e ʻai ai, ʻo kahi hana palekana hiki iā ʻoe ke hana, ʻo ia ka holoi ʻana i kāu mau hua ma mua o ka ʻai ʻana.
ʻOi aku ka nui o ka hana ʻana o kekahi mau ʻano i nā ʻāpana paʻakikī ma mua o nā mea ʻē aʻe, a no ke kōkua ʻana i ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana i nā hua lepo loa mai ka mea ʻaʻole lepo loa, ua paʻi ka hui hana palekana meaʻai waiwai ʻole Environmental Food Safety i kahi papa inoa o nā meaʻai i loaʻa nā pesticides. ʻO ka papa inoa, i kapa ʻia ʻo "Dirty Dozen," he pepa hoʻopunipuni e pono ai ke holoi mau ʻia nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu.
Ua kālailai ka hui i 47,510 mau laʻana o 46 mau ʻano huaʻai a me nā mea kanu i hoʻāʻo ʻia e ka US Food and Drug Administration a me ka US Department of Agriculture.
Ua ʻike ʻia ma ka noiʻi hou loa a ka hui ʻo nā ʻōpena ka nui loa o nā koena pesticides. Ma kēia loiloi piha, ua loaʻa i ka hua kaulana nā kemika he nui ma mua o nā huaʻai a mea kanu ʻē aʻe.
Ma lalo nei e ʻike ʻoe i nā meaʻai he 12 i loaʻa nui nā pesticides a me nā meaʻai he 15 i emi loa ka haumia.
He hōʻailona maikaʻi ka Dirty Dozen e hoʻomanaʻo i nā mea kūʻai aku i nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu e pono e holoi pono ʻia. Hiki i ka holoi wikiwiki ʻana me ka wai a i ʻole ka pīpī ʻana o ka detergent ke kōkua.
Hiki nō hoʻi iā ʻoe ke pale aku i nā pilikia he nui ma ke kūʻai ʻana i nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu organik i hōʻoia ʻia (i ulu ʻia me ka ʻole o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā pesticides mahiʻai). ʻO ka ʻike ʻana i nā meaʻai i ʻoi aku ka nui o nā pesticides e hiki ke kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻoholo i kahi e hoʻolilo ai i kāu kālā keu ma nā huahana organik. E like me kaʻu i aʻo ai i ke kālailai ʻana i nā kumukūʻai o nā meaʻai organik a me nā mea ʻole organik, ʻaʻole lākou i kiʻekiʻe e like me kou manaʻo.
ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka loaʻa ʻana o nā pesticides ʻino i loko o nā huahana me nā uhi pale kūlohelohe.
ʻO ka laʻana Clean 15 ka mea haʻahaʻa loa o ka haumia pesticides o nā laʻana āpau i hoʻāʻo ʻia, akā ʻaʻole ia manaʻo ua kaʻawale loa lākou mai ka haumia pesticides. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole ia manaʻo ʻaʻohe haumia bacteria nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu āu e lawe mai ai i ka home. Ma ke ʻano helu, ʻoi aku ka palekana o ka ʻai ʻana i nā huaʻai i holoi ʻole ʻia mai ka Clean 15 ma mua o ka Dirty Dozen, akā he lula maikaʻi nō naʻe ka holoi ʻana i nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu āpau ma mua o ka ʻai ʻana.
ʻEono ana nā ana o ka haumia pesticides i loko o ke ʻano hana a EWG. Ke nānā nei ka loiloi i nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu i loaʻa i hoʻokahi a ʻoi aku paha nā pesticides, akā ʻaʻole ia e ana i ka pae o kekahi pesticides i loko o kahi huahana kikoʻī. Hiki iā ʻoe ke heluhelu hou aʻe e pili ana i ka noiʻi Dirty Dozen a EWG ma aneʻi.
No nā hāpana hoʻāʻo i kālailai ʻia, ua ʻike ʻo EWG he 95 pakeneka o nā hāpana ma ka māhele huaʻai a me nā mea kanu "Dirty Dozen" i uhi ʻia me nā fungicides hiki ke hōʻino. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, kokoke i 65 pakeneka o nā hāpana ma nā māhele huaʻai a me nā mea kanu maʻemaʻe ʻaʻohe fungicides hiki ke ʻike ʻia.
Ua ʻike ka Pūʻulu Hana Kaiapuni i kekahi mau pesticides i ka wā e kālailai ana i nā hāpana hoʻāʻo a ua ʻike ʻia he ʻehā o nā pesticides ʻelima maʻamau he mau fungicides weliweli: fludioxonil, pyraclostrobin, boscalid a me pyrimethanil.
