I am not against pesticide, but if you don’t believe that some of these chemicals, like this one in particular are not harmful, even in small doses, when consumed by humans you are in denial.

The arguement that, pesticides are and overall good, is not a counter argument to some chemicals are indeed toxic to humans.

Agreeing that the science behind this chemical in particular is that it is very dangerous when consumed, and that’s what the science shows, is not a blanket argument against pesticides and weed killers in general.

I worked in the apple industry for 40 years. The chemicals used as pesticides and herbicides make it so that you can go to the supermarket and have the finest produce, without blemishes and worms, almost in the world.

The amount of the said chemical in processed cereals, etc. if so small that you couldn't live long enough to consume the amount needed to cause cancer of kill you.

What this amount to is a hit piece to get whatever organization the funds it needs to continue trashing the food supply.
