From cereal to ice cream to cocktails, it seems that strawberries are served with just about everything. But it wasn’t always this way. Today, Americans eat four times as many strawberries as they did 40 years ago.

There are, however, hidden costs to using these chemicals. Based on an investigation by The Center for Investigative Reporting.
