On the subject of pesticides and chemicals, I really see the need, but wish they could all be safe for us. When I was 11, I was eating a peach, which then fell open and in the pit was a ball of sqirming worms. Uncle Mac's corn had a big fat worm inside 75% of the husks. I HATE worms! I even separate the leaves of Brussels sprouts before cooking and have found many tiny worms. Our pecan trees produced only fungus infested nuts last couple years. We'd have nothing much to eat if not for pesticides.
Most (not all) 'pests' won't attack healthy plants, they only eat the unhealthy ones.
If we were to return to proper farming methods - mainly crop *and* field rotation - we'd have little need for pesticides...
