(AP) - Ripe tomatoes are seen in this undated handout photo released by the Florida Tomato Committee. Amid the blaze of red, there's no hint of a dark side, a toxic pesticide that protects the fruit and vegetables with stunning efficiency. The U.S. continues to permit the methyl bromide to be used despite signing an international treaty that banned its use by 2005. Its survival demonstrates the difficulty of banishing a chemical that is a powerful toxin but that also helps deliver abundant, pest-free and affordable produce for farmers and consumers.
