Thanks for the info.
Being a trainlover I was watching a documentaire about trains
in the US when they showed boxes of vegetables being sprayed
before they closed the boxes.
I am almost certain these vegetables were going to the shops
and the spraying was not with water.
Although the US has a known low standard on pesticide-use this
however did schock me.
