Pesticides, herbicides, artificial fertilizers, and preservatives are why there are so many humans alive today. There is no way that early 1900s farming could have supported our current population.
Getting food fetishists to see or acknowledge that is another story.

Yeah, damn all of us assholes wanting to know what we’re eating and all that nonsense.
Johnny’s right on this one folks. He knows what he’s talking about.
Will someone please name a food product that ISN’T genetically “modified?”
Modified from what? By whom? By what? Nature itself modifies food, that’s how it works.
Some foods are “engineered” by companies. The commercially successful ones don’t reproduce, guaranteeing recurring revenue.
A GM label is meaningless without strong definition.
It’s right up there with “organic.”
It’s government theater.
There’s a big difference between even conventional farming of 15 years ago and all of the crap loading into crops with GMO.
Harvard just came out with a study about neonicotoids killing off bees, and neonicotoid use is intertwined with GMO.
It is a mistake that we’ve allowed GMOs in this country at all.
