Additionally, can the fruits and vegetables in CA be labeled safe when the pesticides travel via air, wind from Mexico into the states? This is based on the levels of cancer rates, miscarriages, and many other issues our southern neighbors have to deal with. Are we now being affected by eating foods grown in this area? If not, please define your position.
