              is for Organic </FONT></B>
Eating organic food is probably the only way to make sure that you 
              are not eating pesticide residues. The trade in organic food at 
              the moment is small but demand is rising rapidly. It is growing 
              fastest in Europe where the area given over to organic cultivation 
              quadrupled between 1987 and 1993. The current world market for organic 
              food is $11 billion and it may reach <IMG width="105" height="98" align="left" src="http://www.newint.org/issue323/../ni_pix/transparent.gif" />$100 
              billion within a decade. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.newint.org/issue323/apple.htm"><B><FONT size="2">P 
              is for Potato</FONT></B> 
British people eat between 40 and 55 kgs of potatoes per person 
              per year. Potatoes in the US still reveal residues of DDT, dieldrin 
              and chlordane despite the fact that these <IMG width="105" height="121" align="left" src="http://www.newint.org/issue323/../ni_pix/transparent.gif" />were 
              banned in 1978. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.newint.org/issue323/apple.htm"><B><FONT size="2">Q 
              is for Quince </FONT></B>
As quinces are not a major crop they tend not to be sprayed with 
              pesticides. However, asulum and amitrole have been found in quince 
              fruits, most likely spread from adjacent farm land. <B><FONT size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><IMG width="124" height="132" align="right" src="http://www.newint.org/issue323/../ni_pix/transparent.gif" /></FONT></B>Amitrole
