We turn to food for nourishment, healing, and connection.
But recent testing by the UK government — reviewed by PAN UK
— reveals that many of our most trusted staples come with invisible layers: pesticide residues, sometimes more than 10 in a single bite.
Their newly published Dirty Dozen list highlights produce most likely to carry multiple residues — including some pesticides linked to hormone disruption, cancer, and environmental harm.
This post offers a quiet look at what was found, how it connects to our health and ecosystems, and what we can do — gently, intentionally — to shift the terrain.
🍎 We can’t wash away complexity. But we can meet it with awareness.
🌍 The terrain is shared — ours, and the Earth’s.
