No matter how hypocritical any of us want to become, we are all in cahoots & complicit with pesticide use.
If there were no agricultural chemicals our population would probably be half what it is today. You would not be as blessed with the many grand children you now have.
Everyone's prosperity would be greatly reduced & food would cost what you would be surprised at.
It is contemporary low cost slave labor.
We seem to have made our choice with our hip pocket.
Had money not been the object of our desires.
There will be consequences.
As mentioned, the use & application is much refined these days over what I remember from my youth.
Also there is much IPM (integrated pest management) practiced now.
I still do not like the stuff, but that is just another of 40,000 compromises I live with.
I have faith that all will work out in the end.
