Similar to how we might deal with : foods we know to have been treated with 'artificial' toxins, really. Our taste buds do their best to warn us about many plant toxins. I've never tried raw soya but I reckon it's not good to eat. A lot of what we eat today needs some processing, to grow it in large quanties requires modern technologies. What alternative do you propose - starving people? The plants are happy to cooperate in making themselves taste pungent. By contrast, the artificial toxins have been designed to be tasteless and invisible to consumers. And safe! Strawberries are one of the most pesticide-infected types of produce. They don't have natural toxins in. They are "designed" to be eaten by mammals like us. The fungicides sprayed on strawberries are toxic to animals like us. http://www.pesticideinfo.org/PCW/DS.jsp?sk='1016' lists the crap sprayed on strawberries. There can be no contest here. Strawberries aren't meat. I rest my case. Try bacon. Michael Saunby |
