Elon Musk’s farmhand robots can’t come soon enough.
What? Anyone should know this is ridiculous. One in six children does not have cancer. One in six children does not have a bout with cancer growing up.
These people are going to lead us straight into a major famine.
“Prominent farmworker activist and organizer Dolores Huerta..”
Never heard of her.
Then she won’t be a farm worker anymore.
Rachel Carson never died.
WITHOUT PESTICIDES-—THERE IS NO CROP TO WORK ON, DUMMY.
HAVED YOU EVER SEEN AN INVASION OF “ARMY WORMS”???
I HAVE—_WHEN I WAS A KID ON A DAIRY FARM IN WISCONSIN.
THEY CRAWL ACROSS THE LANDSCAPE-—EATING ANYTHING & EVERYTHING.

SOME PEOPLE CANNOT EVEN FIND THE DOTS-—MUCH LESS CONNECT THE DOTS

That was my first thought as well. Agricultural pesticide use should be sensibly monitored. But my goodness. Go too far in the other direction, and the bugs will eat fine while people starve.
BUT WHO WILL PICK THE CROPS?
she’s right.
THEY ALREADY MANAGED TO GET A CALIF LAW THAT BARS MACHINE HARVESTING
Now why is the fake news pushing this now................
You notice she’s not down in Mehico’ complaining.
Claim to fame was getting smacked.
I never eat anything with pesticides on it; organic Is not that much more $$.
Have been doing that for decades. My MD says I’m the healthiest person he’s ever seen at my age. 89 in June. Weight 116, try to walk at least 20 minutes a day, don’t eat any saturated fats, beef or pork.
American beekeepers lost between 50 - 70 percent of their bee colonies last year due to pesticides and disease. No bees, no pollination, no food! Just say no to those “DIY home kits” and use natural methods of pest control that doesn’t kill our pollinators!
Our food chain really IS an absolute MESS! I Stand With RFK! (Jr.)

Full Disclosure: My Piggly Wiggly had the Driscolls-brand Strawberries on sale (Buy 1 Get 1 FREE) a few weeks back. That is the brand this woman is fighting with. They were the most luscious, DELICIOUS, red-to-the-core actually-tasted-like-strawberries I have had in a very long time, other than out of my own Strawberry Patch. So, a few bugs died due to pesticide use. I hate bugs. What do they contribute? Other than Pollinators and ‘Good Bugs’ that are predators to the Bad Bugs, what do they deliver to Mankind? ;)
The authors make a pretty convincing argument that a lot of what was broadly labeled "polio" in the first half of the twentieth century was actually paralysis caused by pesticides.
Here is a book for families wanting to grow pesticide free foods.
