@djtrunksta I never said they spray foods with DDT(anymore). I said"This study suggests 71% of conventional foods still carry environmentally persistent chlorinated organic insecticides, such as DDT. consumersunion"dot"org/food/or
ganicsumm.htm So, even though DDT has been banned, DDT still persists in the environment and people still consume DDT on a regular basis." Not that DDT is still beng sprayed agriculturally(for the most part) but that it still persists in the environment. -
@myndy86 They cannot SPRAY crops with DDT... they can genetically alter foods to produce DDT (and other similar and VERY harmful chemicals) on their own.

I can see the day coming soon, when half the population is sick and dying...and they STILL won't get it!

@MaryEllen45: Just browse the comments on any "food" article on Yahoo news. 99% of the posters don't have a clue about the toxic food.

@embarkconsulting they have been wrong before, and they correct it, but they dont correct pesticides because their not harming us. and the cancer rise has been going up and up consistently right? well, when they banned DDT, it had no effect on the cancer rate, so, what was the cause again?
-
@cole3454657 - I am not saying it is necessarily intentional. I am saying that they have been wrong in the past and they have ignored science that shows something is harmful for months or even years before acting.
There also is the whole situation of cronyism. Many people from the EPA and FDA (after leaving) end up serving on boards and receiving large paychecks from pharmaceutical and chemical companies. It isn't communism - its all about money! Take a look - it is all out there.

@embarkconsulting its not based on feelings, it based on logic, in a democracy, if the government released something in the food supply which harmed humans they would be voted out. im just saying this isnt communist china or iraq where they would purposely strike their own people. the epa and fda approve these because they know these carcinogens are in trace amounts and wont harm you in the concentration present.

We also can generally agree that it makes sense to avoid things that have a good chance of causing harm including cancer. If all of these things are true, we have to come to the conclusion that we should avoid ingesting pesticides whenever possible and that we should do more testing on all chemicals to see what the long-term effects are on animals (not just looking at toxic exposure levels). Ok - that's my argument. You can disagree, but not because of faulty logic or lack of facts.
-
We can assume based on past history that some "approved" pesticides will eventually be taken off the list because they are more dangerous than originally thought and may actually cause harm to humans. We can also assume that we will not know if that or those pesticides are being used on our food right now. continued...
It is so important! the people of the US and Canada need to wake up!
Europe is livid about this invasion and adulteration of the food supply... and the US sits!? Avoid GMOs, Buy organic, grow organic, and propagate and save organic seeds! Thank you for doing such a fun video...now finally people may wake up!

Great work! I think you've chosen a perfect way to get the message out to ppl who wouldn't otherwise look into the GMO issue.
