Well, as we do each year, EWG released (on June 19) the latest Shopper's Guide to Pesticides in Produce and as we suspected, eaters around the country are still concerned about high levels of toxic pesticide residue on their fruits and veggies. In just the first two days after the release, we clocked more than 313,270 page views to the Shopper's Guide website. Some 36,000 people have 'liked' it so far on Facebook, and it's been bouncing around twitter since the early morning of June 19 at quite a clip. In the last 365 days the online pesticide guide has had more than 1.5 million visits and nearly 3 million page views.
