5. It's not just eating poisonous food

Many of these crop dusters spray pesticides that drift on people’s yards. Kids walk on grass, track pesticides into their houses and end up breathing them all day long.

There was a pesticide study done using tracers that glow to see how much pesticide was tracked into farmers homes. - rugs had the most but pesticide was basically all over their houses.

Albuquerque sprays pesticide out of trucks for mosquito control. In the mid 1990’s some stupid employer put old malathion into sprayer when they ran out of what they were using and poisoned my whole block. They did this 3 nights in a row.

Some foods are more pesticided than others. Like I would never eat a non organic strawberry.
