Ross spoke at the Sustainable Agriculture Conference March 23rd, in Washington, D.C., sponsored by the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
Over 400 organic farmers and consumer advocates from around the country attended. "Most produce in supermarkets is treated post-harvest and a great deal of that with substances categorized by the EPA as oncogenic (tumor -causing). Consumers have no idea that these substances are being used or the extent of their use," Ross said. Ross' association helped passed legislation in Maine which requires supermarkets to tell consumers what post-harvest Consumer Watch BY LAURA YEOMANS "When I used to go grocery shopping the only thing I would worry about was my shopping list and my coupons," said Rosalie Ziomek, executive director of the Illinois Coalition for Safe Food. "Now shopping has become a political act.
"When we realized, about a year ago, that apple juice labeled 'pure' that we had given our babies was probably tainted with a dangerous chemical, we were furious," Ziomek explained. "'We felt betrayed by those very institutions that were supposed to keep the food supply safe. We are the ones who spend hundreds of dollars a month on food. We have a right to know what's on our food." Jill Snowden, director of Scientific Affairs for the United Fresh chemicals are on produce and what country produce comes from. Wedding performed April 7th for couple Julie Wiswasser became the bride of Mark Ladd Saturday afternoon, April 7, 1990, in New Riegel.
The Rev. Ralph Schneider performed the ceremony. For her wedding, the bridechose a gown of ivory satin with a round neckline, three-quarterlength sleeves, princess bodice, basque waist, full skirt and cathedral-length train. Her gown was adorned with bows, lace, pearls and sequins. A band of pearls and flowers held the bride's fingertip-length veil, and she carried a bouquet of white roses and stephanotis.
Carol Siebenall, sister-in-law of the bride, was the matron of honor and the bridesmaids were Sondra Gamble, Teri Roberts, deBruin and Nancy They wore peach tealength gowns with necklines, short puffed sleeves accented with bows, fitted bodices and basque waists. Each wore flowers in her hair and carried a wreath with peach roses. Fruit and Vegetable Association, presented a different perspective. "Consumers want produce that is fresh, shiny and looks good. Residues in the food supply under the current regulatory systems, when they are used legally, present no threat to human have the safest food supply in the world," said Harold Alston, vice president of Stop and Shop Supermarkets.
"But over the last year or two we have seen real progress in making it safer. We must all continue to work in that direction." Stop and Shop Supermarkets started carrying organic food in 1986. The supermarket chain also employs an outside firm to test for pesticide residues on regular produce. Their goal is to get growers to a "no detectable residue" level, according to Alston. "We factor pesticide residue levels into our buying decisions," Alston explained.
"This means we can use our buying power to reward the grower who gets closest to or actually produces products without pesticide residue." In Ohio, organic farmes are organizing to get more pesticidefree produce to supermarkets. Over 300 members of the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association met March 3rd in Columbus. Bill Bolduc, marketing coordinator for the association, is coordinating farmers to meet the demand for organic food from supermarkets. If you want to find fresh produce this spring and summer that does not contain pesticides you can do the following: Ziomek recommends, "When you are shopping politely say to the produce manager, 'Do you have any organic and if they say say "why and listen to their answer. Keep asking every time you shop and when they finally get it in, buy If your produce manager doesn't know how to find organic produce encourage him or her to call Bill Bolduc at (800) 882-6866.

Automatic lane lets customers scan own goods CHICAGO (AP) Check it out. The latest at the supermarket will let customers become do-it-yourselfers at the checkout lane. Not only for bagging.
They will be able to run packaged products over a scanner and weigh their own produce before going to a central But don't try to slip an extra can of peas or bunch of bananas past the computer. A security system in the CheckRobot Inc. lanes reverses the conveyer if any unscanned, unweighed or switched product is placed on it. And a gentle electronic voice says "please set the last item aside and continue scanning." The lanes were on display Wednesday on the final day of the Washington, D.C.-based Food Marketing Institute's Supermarket Industry Convention at McCormick Place. And Scott M.
Sloan, vice president of marketing for CheckRobot, said the benefits of the system, and a new cooperative marketing agreement with IBM, should make it popular. The systems, on the market for about a year, are already installed in 11 supermarkets, including locations in Ontario, Canada, New Jersey, Virginia, Florida and Wisconsin. Other installations are planned soon. Sloan said the lanes are easy to operate. can go to a number of our sites and you can see children scanning groceries while their mother's at the other end he said.
Stores can still provide baggers, and can decide how many cash registers they want to use, but to get the financial benefit from the machines, it's recommended that each cashier handle National Drinking Water Week For SAFE Drinking Water Have A RO System Installed Today RENT WITH AN OPTION TO BUY OR ASK ABOUT OUR SPECIAL DISCOUNT.

A computer screen and two rows of buttons face the shopper bringing groceries to the line. Prices of scanned products appear on the screen, while anything that needs to be weighed is put on the scanner surface, which is also a scale. Buttons have pictures of different kinds of produce, such as grapes. Put grapes on the scale and hit the button, and the price is recorded. All of this is done with or without a computer voice stating the prices at the customer's discretion and with recorded video of a woman to give some messages including "Help is on the way" for those who touch the "Help" square on the screen.
A receipt at the end of the line is taken' to the cashier for' payment. While saving labor costs is a selling point of the machines, Sloan said the devices really will fill a void created by a shortage of 16- to 24-year-old workers. Al Zack, spokesman for the Washington, D.C.-based United Food and Commercial Workers union, which represents retail food employees, said there's only a shortage because stores want too many part-timers. He also predicted customer dissatisfaction with selfcheckout, and slow lines due to baffled shoppers. "I don't think many customers consider it convenience to do the work for the store," he said.
But Richard Honerkamp, chief financial officer of Deerfield Beach, CheckRobot, said most customers have liked the system, and checkout would be faster especially in nonpeak hours when stores often shut down most lanes.
