7. We need a study to show how harmful
pesticides are. Studying kids that are already exposed (and let's be honest, not studying them is not going to lower their exposure) is the best way to do it.

Hopefully they will have to stop the study early because it's just too dangerous and start a massive recall of pesticides. Not that a recall does any good. 2 years after diazanon was recalled I could still buy it and the local radio garden show host (idiot) was recommending it.

I'm an organic gardener living in the south. I don't have massive insect problems. I've learned to embrace spiders, which eat the cockroaches that might dare to venture near my house. Mainly, I've learned to live with some insects, does a ladybug in my home really hurt me?
