Of course, Mr. Welfare fooled everyone with this post.
Rod, tell us about the fast food job.

Yeah, he argued with me about apartment rents in my neighborhood. He's
clearly omniscient.

Mr. Welfare considers that to be a rebuttal.

Why do some people feel/react/seem so threatenedby the notion of
not using pesticides? It's as if they take it personally :-)

They'd rather not have to entertain the notion that their present
consumption levels may not be as safe as they've been led to believe.(
they may be safe when consumed individually, but "ya can't eat just
one.")


Why does anyone give a rat's ass if I choose to eat a diet that doesn't
include meat, fish or pesticides?

Misery, (and tumors?) like company...??
(sidenote: pesticides have an affinity for fatty tissue, breasts, and
such)

I have scratched my head on this one for about 3 decades and although
I've learned to talk less and less about how and what I eat, I still see the
reaction is alive and well in forums such as this.

Tip: Stop scratching, that's a poor way to energize your brain cells.

makes other people tick....??)


pesticide trivia:
Last time I checked, "safe" levels were based on average per capita
consumption.
This assumes that every man, woman, & child consumes the same amount.
Well, duh....some foods, such as avacados & pears are
disproportionately consumed by a small minority of consumers. So,
they're getting their "safe" levels, plus the "safe' levels of those
who consume little or no avacados/pears and others, no doubt.


I eat very little of the hi-fat meats. Not concerned about the fat, per
se, but what's IN the fat. Pesticide allowances for animal feed are in
the stratosphere, as though it should't be a problem for humans
consuming them.

DIET FOR A NEW AMERICA by John Robbins
(Stillpoint Publishing, 1987.)
snip
The Pesticides Monitoring Journal, published by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), chronicles scientific studies and
research findings regarding toxins retained in animal tissues from
the pesticides they eat. And, meat-eaters eat these birds, fish
and animals. The journal confirmed what numerous studies have
discovered:

Foods of animal origin (are) the major source of. . .
pesticide residues in the diet.

Recent studies indicate that of all toxic chemical residues in the
American diet, almost all, 95% to 99%, come from meat, fish,
dairy products and eggs. If you want to include pesticides in your
diet, these are the foods to eat. Otherwise, switch to a diet
which is lower on the food chain and is organically grown.

Or they have noticed what snake oil bullshit 'organic' is.

Just another of your pathetic little fantasys.

Or they dont buy the snake oil bullshit that 'organic' involves.

Pathetic, really.

No one does. What some care about its the utterly
mindless snake oil bullshit that the 'organics' spew.

Some do, most dont.

It explains why so many buy the 'organic' bullshit. And religion in spades.

Wrong, as always.

No it doesnt.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have
never ever had a ****ing clue about anything at all, ever.

Your problem.

Pesticide allowances for animal feed are in the stratosphere,

Pig ignorant lie.

as though it should't be a problem for humans consuming them.

Thats considered when setting the safe levels allowed in fat, stupid.
