Nope Streep was the big time anti-apple Annie back then. She even made tv commercial spots. Lange may have jumped on that band wagon, she does anytime she thinks it'll get her sagging career any exposure.

In the late 1980s, Streep formed the environmental and consumer advocacy group Mothers and Others for Pesticide Limits, which brought national attention to the health risks to children of the pesticide Alar, then commonly used on U.S.-grown apples and other fruit. Streep spoke out about the dangers of the controversial pesticide on a "60 Minutes" program and before the U.S. Congress.
