Get A Grip

I am sick and tired of misguided liberals promoting organic food and un-"sustainable development" as better than conventionally raised food.

The claim that pesticides and bovine growth hormones are bad for you has NEVER been proven in any credible scientific study.

So the next time some liberal tells you that pesticides cause cancer or BGH is making kids "develop" too quickly, ask them this - If that is true, why hasn't Greenpeace sued the FDA?

If that is true, why haven't farmers who handle pesticides daily all died of cancer?

If that is true, then how come the FDA and the EPA haven't banned these substances?

Environmentalists run to the courts faster than a fat man hits the fridge, yet there hasn't been a single (successful) court case against these products. I mean if the enviros can take down asbestos which has been in use since the Ancient Greeks, then surely if pesticides were bad, they'd have a case.

The only "success" has been the ban on DDT which is a travesty of justice as the science has since repudiated Racheal Carson and said DDT ban now kills millions of African woman and children EVERY YEAR. But enviromentalists defend that DDT ban tooth and nail because if the truth were known then the lynchpin of their entire worldview collapses.

Pesticides, good. Science, good. Bans on life-saving products, bad.
