Oh, so it's not THAT carcinogenic then? Just a little bit perhaps?

Yes, that is correct in the sense that there is very little of the chemical
present.
The point is that after treatment with a typical "medication", there is even
less of the "medicine" left.

There's even less if you don't use any 'medication' ( whatever that
may be? ) in the first place.

The predominant effect, even though still negligible, is from the carcinogen
inherently in the lettuce.

If it's negligable, why raise the issue at all?

Horse shit.
And lots of it ( plenty of flies, not too many angels ).

Your attempts at humour escape me.

No suprises there.

And you are in fact continuously monkeying about with nature. Otherwise
you
would not have had such a plethora of varieties of runner beans or
tomatoes
to choose from.

As opposed to dead birds/fish etc etc etc..

I fear you appear to have run out of steam.

But not wildlife.
