@Deborah Pesticides, insecticides, herbicides et al are designed to attack genetic material through ionizing reaction. They are radiomimetric and indistinguishable from radiation reactions. An Italian researcher once calculated the ionizing damage caused by 1 million pounds of these genetic chemicals to American people equaled the atomic fallout from 72,500 Hiroshima bombs.
The US was using over 1 million pounds of these chemicals in 1972. Lifting this ban has Agenda 21 written all over it. "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson is back with a vengeance.
