It is written by Joe schwarcz, Phd, who is the director of the McGill University's office for Science and Society. He has written many books on health and this one is called 'An Apple a Day'. I found the entire book to be of great interest, but you should look specifically at the chapter on pesticides. As you posted to "anyone else interested in a balanced view of the use of pesticides in today's world" I think it's OK to jump in here. I will read his book if you will agree to read the following: Who funds Scwarcz? A consortium of biotechnology companies, under the umbrella of the Council for Biotechnology Information. From the CBI website: http://www.whybiotech.com/index.asp?id=about Welcome to whybiotech.com®. The Council for Biotechnology Information communicates science-based information about the benefits and safety of agricultural and food biotechnology. Its members are the leading biotechnology companies and trade associations. Member Companies and Associations http://www.whybiotech.com/index.asp?id=982 Monsanto BASF Bayer Biotechnology Industry Organization CropLife America Dow DuPont Syngenta That certainly seems to be a bit of conflict of interest, doesn't it? Not to worry Steve. I am sure those folks understand the complexities of the world we live in and really really want to provide us with a secure food machine just as long as they (*******s) control it. Bill who wonders why wisdom is not appreciated but knowledge is? Sort of like the comparison of clever and smart. Mankind had to be very clever to build a bomb that could kill the human race, but that wasn't very smart of them, was it? -- - Billy "For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception until death." - Rachel Carson http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=En2TzBE0lp4 http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1050688.html |
