We aren't using it because of an author (and I use the term loosely) named Rachael Carson, who wrote a propaganda piece called Silent Spring. One of first of the shameless eco-liars, her emotional appeal galvanized the country. Never mind that it was virtually fact free, it worked, as good propaganda does.

People ATE spoonfuls of DDT for a year, with no ill effects.

May Rachael Carson burn in hell for the MILLIONS who've died of malaria as a result of her lies.

***People ATE spoonfuls of DDT for a year, with no ill effects.***

Back in the 1960s, PROGRESSIVE FARMER had an article about a man who ate DDT to prove it was harmless.

Several years later, in the letters to the editor, some kid wrote that he had mentioned this in his science class and was called a LIAR! by the teacher, and requested a copy of the article.

The sent him the article and the teacher was proven wrong.
