You have one. Buy acreage, plant your own food and live as you wish.

Leftists want to control food supply. Less food available gives them power because people have to eat.

The EPA’s own research admits that the science on the pesticide is not totally clear as to how much potential damage it does at the doses it is being used at.

Liberal faggots hate anybody who possesses what they don’t. Envy and ingratitude are the hallmarks of every liberal.

You seem like a reasonable person and you have 4 wonderful children. You can buy organic and grow your own food. Those are two options. I have a toxicology background. Everything man made or natural has a toxic dose. The DOSE, is the key basic concept in all of toxicology. The dose diffentiates, the poison, the remedy, and the harmless in all cases.

I use some pesticides according to label, but I also grow most of my own food. Blessings on those children.

Thanks. We do pay attention. We try and eat cleanly. When we grow food we use natural pesticides that aren’t known to damage neuro systems of animals. But you can’t be perfect.

Still, it’s important NOT to fall for stuff just because some company advertises it with smiling faces. Like dryer sheets and most laundry products. Round Up and so many garden products. Way too risky for way too little benefit.

If any of the neurotoxins used in today’s household or farms made people feel ill and then vomit for a few hours, they would all be banned. But instead, cumulatively, they may well lead to Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s in 30 or 40 years. So they stay in our homes.

The few ppb of pesticides pales in comparison to the filthy air breathed by millions living in urban areas 24 hours a day, everyday. If you live in an urban area try to imagine the combustion products and particulates in the air you breath nonstop. The threat to your health from polluted air is a thousand times greater than the few ppb of pesticide you might occasionally be exposed to in the food you eat. The respiratory membrane has the surface area of a singles tennis court and is a couple of cell layers away from your bloodstream.
