Really surprising that no one in this thread has mentioned the danger
to babies and children from playing on lawns poisoned by weed-killers
and other harsh lawn chemicals. Many parents will not let their
children play on a friend's lawn unless they check with the parents
about chemical use.

There's no point in mentioning it. Think about the two sides of that debate.
The stoopids who think the chemicals are safe will never believe otherwise
because they CANNOT believe otherwise. These ideas are too closely
intertwined with so many others, including politics. Ditch one idea and you
may have to ditch a dozen others.
