I meant that, at the moment, the reason for starving children isn't production.

Well DDT was pretty much harmless to us humans, but OOOOHHHHHH THINK OF THE POOR FALCON!!!! THEIR EGGS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN OUR FOOD AND HEALTH.

Never said that, but no, DDT isn't pretty much harmless. And no, I do not want to get into an argument about "credible" sources, but the Bible doesn't state anything about DDT either.

BTW, where did you get the idea that "organic"= non-harmful? DEET is less of a carcinogen than Citronella, but which one got banned for "not being natural"?

DEET was banned?
Interesting article, they spelled pesticides wrong.. not the point. Anyways, organic food has been proven to be healthier than food enhanced with synthetic chemicals(depends on the chemical). It is also healthier for humans in the long run.

I don't think you had enough information or looked deeply enough into certain subjects. Or viewed them from as many angles as possible.
