Where have you read that pesticides are GOOD for you? Pesticides keep down molds, fungus, and pests. That's good for me and the food I buy. Do you live with ants in your home? Do you eat apples with worms in them? Oranges with maggots. Pesticides are good and they have resulted in immeasurable improvements in health and prosperity the world over.

Pesticides are good Mmm, yummy.
Actually, I try to buy only organic fruits and vegetables. You're welcome to continue consuming your pesticide-laced fruits and veggies, though.

Exactly. This is the kind of stupid logic that eventually leads to millions of deaths from malaria and yellow fever because "toxic" substsances like DDT are banned.
