Better Dying Through Chemistry

If you haven't convinced yourself or found a good enough reason to make the extra effort to eat organic food and just swallow the cost , then maybe this will work for you?

Government promises to rid the nation's food supply of brain-damaging pesticides aren't doing the job, according to the results of a yearlong study that carefully monitored the diets of a group of local children.

The peer-reviewed study found that the urine and saliva of children eating a variety of conventional foods from area groceries contained biological markers of organophosphates, the family of pesticides spawned by the creation of nerve gas agents in World War II.

When the same children ate organic fruits, vegetables and juices, signs of pesticides were not found.

We have been told for years and years by the chemical and food industries as well as by the government that chemicals can't pass on through the food chain. The fact is that this is simply not true. One of the major elements of good health is prevention and eating poison is not good prevention. How long are we going to allow Congress to continue to allow Monsanto, Dow and all the other chemical companies to sell their poisons regardless of impact on humans?
