Default Roundup questions

If you're growing food at home, what's the point of taking the same risks
as commercial farmers and exposing yourself to chemicals which have not
and will never be tested for safety? Why do all that work to end up with
essentially the same result?


I always wonder the same thing. I hear so often of people growing their own
vegetables because they don't want the chemical-laden crap that you get tat
the store, yet they plant them in plots that have been chemically treated,
and sometimes even use pesticides around them. Why not just save the
expense and trouble and get them at the store?
