My grandparents never used pesticides and yet they ate organic vegetables every day, straight from the garden. Although they didn't call them organic, they just called them vegetables...

Pesticide use by country shows the USA are second only to China, you use 407,779 tons per annum... India is 13th, Japan is 14th, S.Korea is 24th.

@amynoah1621 lol you mean ignore every relevant detail until the USA are no longer the second-largest user of pesticides by actual amount of pesticides used? The US also imports 15% of its food.

@amynoah1621 It took the EPA 14 years of public pressure to ban chlorpyrifos in food usage. In 2016 the USA used more than 320 million pounds of pesticides that were banned in the EU. Please stop this, research is quite easy to do and I'm bored of correcting you...

@amynoah1621 India is a South Asian country, S.Korea is an East Asian nation, Japan is an East Asian country. It is only China that uses more pesticides than the US and is 2.2% larger in landmass. You should just accept your generalisation is incorrect and move on. Anyway, I'm bored of circular debate. All the best Amy!

@Hertz2laugh They are created by how many tons of pesticides are used as my example clearly shows, using the same criteria for each country. What is wrong with you people? Can't you take simple facts when they don't fit in with your ego?

@Hertz2laugh I'm the one who presented facts based on actual amounts used, per country, with the same criteria being used for each country and was challenged twice with nonsense arguments... I've pointed out your 'reality check' was actually the opposite, an attempt to misrepresent the data as compromised because it didn't fit in with your hilarious suggestion that the US cares about its farmland and isn't willing to use chemicals to pollute it (despite being the 2nd largest user of said pesticides/chemicals). There's nothing wrong with the American dream, but you have to be asleep to dream...
