Yes today farmers were using lots of insecticides to save their plant from insects or other harmful germs.
there are no safe techniques used by the farmers for harvesting and they use insecticides a lot .
To much use of Insecticides is really harmful to our health.
In our localities, vendors add colors to make vegetables, fish and meat look attractive. They are making food items even more poisonous.
Without knowing we are taking poisons in fruits,vegetables.Govt should take necessary actions.
yes, i agree with you sasikanth. People are using insectisides and chemicals for taste and storage but they are not bothering about the people who eat this what will happen to them. In hyderabad hotels , for the rice to look white they are adding whitewash in it. due to this people will get stomachache problems , kidney stones and many more problems
farmers who spray the insecticides on crops these insecticides not only harmful for humans but during rain these flow into river or ponds and make the fresh water poisonous and animals who drink that poison water fall ill .
Now insecticides are mixed in soft drinks for the better storage but it is harmful to us.
today each type of fruit is toxic. would that the old time can come back so that we can feel fresh air,fresh water and fresh food or fruits.
a particular insecicide called endosulphan is used all over the country.all the developed countries have benned this insecticide.because it affects pregnant woman and new born child.this has happened in kerala and the kerala government has banned it.but other states are still using it.

I agree with you. fruit sellers use injections with some harmful medicines which keep fruit fresh for some more days.

Sometimes, i doubt, fruits can even be grown artificially.
It is better to avoid buying fruits out side the bigstores.We should grow ourselves.

But it is not possible for everyone to grow fruits themselves. One or the other have to buy from trusted vendors.
the fruits like apples we need to peel its skin so that the insecticides used will be removed. We cannot grow all fruits
thank you sarala but washing the fruits with vinegar will remove the insecticides.
yes today food is not as natural as it used to be. and that is why world is going for organic food.
Now a days they are mixing insecticides in soft drinks thats why its better to stop consumption of softdrinks. these drinks cause cancer as they contain insecticides
We are all interested in talking about insecticides, colours and preservatives added to vegetables and fruits. But we people are so lazy that even if we have free land, we are not interested in cultivating something at home, even a little.

Pesticides, artificial colours...... we cannot control. But if we make up our mind, we can at least plant a few vegetables or fruits at our courtyard or even our terrace.
insecticides & pesticides are found to be too poisonous and harmful for health....but the farmers are not given the proper education on how to cultivated.....so in order to profit and earn their living...they tend to stake our lives.....
There is nothing that is not contaminated due to over use of chemicals, nothing is going to change if we do not return to compost and eco-friendly natural fertilizers.
