I hate to be that guy, but I can honestly say most of the products aren’t as bad as they make them sound. There is nothing scientific about how this author presents the info, just a lot of “it’s a chemical, so it’s bad”.
I grow over a million pounds a year of organic fruit, and I am in touch with most of the CEOs and owners of fruit processors almost daily. In this industry, we have to grow enough food to feed the country 3 times a day. Organic is great, it really is, and it’s what I try to eat with my family, but we cannot feed the world without the aid of some things. If the human race is to survive and we are going to do it organically, we absolutely need the help of companies creating organic treatments like appeel.
Everyone likes to say “grow a garden”, but the fact is, a lot of people don’t have the skills or infrastructure to do it. And by a lot, I mean millions. Maybe billions. Please, for the love of God, read into the chemical label, make an informed decision based on the actual product, and don’t spread bullshit that does nothing but hurt the farmers who are doing their best to survive in a world that hates them already.
You're making several assumptions, though. The farming industry became big Pharma and big Farma. Monoculture in mass plots is unnatural, it's being done wrong so badly that it makes itself require tons of chemicals just to work. Cover cropping and companion planting maintain soil quality with fewer chemicals and less pest intervention.
Big Farma killed family farms overly and indirectly. We collectively lost our local farms and that is also unnatural.
You also assume everyone must eat the same things. I believe that every ecosystem has it's own collection of foods that are 'designed' to make up a complete and wholesome diet. I love banana and pineapple but if I live in an area that produces apples and berries, those should be what I go with most of the time.
This frog gets it.
