Here's a clue, idiot, companies like Monsanto LOVE guys like you, because they LOVE more regulations, all crocodile-tear protestations to the contrary. It is likely they who are behind these new regulations.
I know, you don't get it. But then, you quite apparently didn't comprehend above when I said that the regulations end up forcing farmers to use MORE pesticides that are MORE toxic. That is exactly what happened when the Ruckelshaus EPA ignored the science they'd paid for and banned DDT anyway. Meanwhile, they allowed organophosphate which is far more toxic, but you see, there were no approved substitutes. As the pests got used to more organophosphate and as the data climbed in terms of harm to workers, what do you know but Zeneca sold the patent to a shell company in Arizona.
SOS.
So I take it you haven’t a shred of evidence that we are better off with our veggies slathered in pesticides because left alone th ey’d be killing us with even more dangerous chemicals of their own making.

Your easy equating of the impact on the human body of what you refer to as “natural carcinogens” and what you call (but don’t limit your response to) “modern pesticides formulated to emulate naturally occurring chemistry,” leave room for about a million rebuttals in both biophysiological assessment and actual biochemistry, and holes the size of Saturn. It’s literally a matter of “where do I start”?
But if I WERE to start, it would be with your definitions of natural versus synthetic carcinogens, no doubt based on a presumption of natural analogue status based on statistical analysis of the number of structural molecular componants. And that’s not even getting into the definition of “natural.”
So yeah, you could easily be a Monsanto rep. Especially since few things in the history of humanity on this planet have killed more people than the banning of DDT, and NO company has made more money of of finding “replacements” for DDT than Monsanto - and yet you try to imply (with insults added to misdirect your utterly untenable point) that the banning went against Monsanto’s interests.
