Poisoned

As shown on 60 Minutes on Sunday night...

Australia's fruit and vegetables are sprayed with chemicals that are considered so dangerous they're banned around the world. Liz Hayes spent a hellish few weeks, witnessing the mutating effects of these poisons on people in other countries. And it's a horror show. Worst of all, the people who are supposed to be protecting us are pretending it's not happening.

How horrific! It's really scary to think that we are unwittingly eating so many unhealthy toxins (not that there are healthy toxins!).

Hope you enjoyed the smoothie :) The avocado made it ultra-creamy for me, but if you can eat bananas, I bet they'd work even better!

Hi Ricki, thanks for your comment! I did enjoy the smoothie - and would have included avocado but mine were rock hard!

Thanks for sharing Charlotte...that is pretty scary. Another good argument for organic food...wish I could get more of it up here! ;-) At least I wash the veggies and fruit...now more than ever!
