While I don't have insect larvae in any of my veggies or fruit
(contrary to your misinformation) I'd rather eat them than produce
doused in chemicals.



It's a matter of degree, doncha think?


Absolutely. I know what I do on my property. I am trained and
licensed to apply controlled substances and follow all of the rules
(READ THE LABEL).

That is very different from what happens on a commercial farm where
the owner is dependent upon the hired help doing the right thing. My
experience is that farmers want their workers to do the right thing
but that may or may not happen. On my place (and I sell some of my
produce) it is done by the book because I am the guy doing it.

On the other side are the organic Islamists who believe that their way
is the only way and every one else should be killed. BS.

I raise quality products using IPM methods and am proud of what I do
and will not accept unreasonable criticism form the organic Islamists.
