".. Their use is banned by law in production of food
to be sold to the public as organic ......."

Sorry but this is not true.
"The term organic is defined by law, therefore all organic food production
and processing is governed by a strict set of rules"

"When you see a symbol or number you can be sure that the product complies
with the minimum government standards as set by UKROFS (UK Register of
Organic Food Standards)."

It's the public wanting perfect looking food that has no trace of pests of
any sort in it that has caused the constant use of pesticides in today's
food,

Personally I'd rather have local produce than so called "organic" produce
that is produced in southern Spain or Morocco and hauled all the way to the
UK by road causing the use of a great deal of fuel and the release of a
large amount of pollution.
