Point went right over your head it seems. Toxins are toxins, regardless if they’re organic or synthetic.

I expect much better from this sub than someone throwing more smokescreen at the problem.

The cigarette industry threw millions of dollars into slowing the research, into seeding doubt here and there, because each month of legal inaction from the government was one more full month of business for them. We know it, it’s documented. Slowing the regulations is their business now.

The endgame of your “which aren’t necessarily any better” is nothing else than pleading inaction because we are only sure at 99% and not 100%. So while you spend your time searching for this last percent I say we go organic.

You continue to ignore my point. I’m not defending synthetic pesticides. So stop the straw manning please, especially when I literally used the tobacco industry studies as an example in another comment chain yesterday.

We shouldn’t be using organic pesticides either.
