November 12, Pesticides

Whomever developed them was a genius. Now I know in this organic pure world that we live in, pesticides rank right up there in public opinion with the Klu Klux Klan. But, before you think of all the “evil” chemical companies who are conspiring to kill you I would like you to take a minute and think of all the good pesticides have done for mankind. They have eliminated things like malaria from whole continents, increased yields for crop productions and helped feed an incredibly growing global population. The next time they give a report of West Nile cases, and everyone is up in arms grabbing cans of Off, remember that is a pesticide as well.

The other day on FB someone posted something about a baby food that was supposed to be from the brand of ultimate pure, earth care, whole food, dye free, sugar free, lactose free, gluten free what ever. Anyway, they claimed that in their beloved uber baby food puree was some bug larvae and were completely upset about the level of quality control. I thought, Hell Yeah!!! First of all that’s what you get without pesticides, bugs! And besides I thought all you whole food loving, organic, tree hugging, no perfume or artificial flavors people loved bugs, cause that’s what Mother Nature is made of …stinking morons, I hope you eat more bug larvae, and pay extra for it.
