Your response screams of schilling. Anyone who has spent 5 minutes researching the effects of herbicides and pesticides understands the massive negative impact they are having on our environment. As a farmer who doesn’t use any chemicals surrounded by farmers who do, you have no idea of the nightmare that conventional agricultural is.

Even though I don’t use chemicals I know for a fact that my livestock and produce are contaminated from neighbour’s drift. I’ve had to empty out 6 large troughs because they had a thick film of roundup surfactant and glyphosate on them. I’ve been sick in bed for a day because my idiot neighbour sprayed during inversion conditions and his whole payload landed on my barn. It’s not fun, let me tell you.

Try not to be emotional when your own water tanks, your only source of water, is full of your neighbours chemicals and poisoning your children. Try not to be emotional when legislation provides no protection to spray victims because Bayer uses the “when used in accordance with the label” get out of jail free card.

I dare anyone who doesn’t buy organic to get a sample of their vegetables sent to a lab for a full organic tox screen and see how you feel then. Unlike vaccines, glyphosate is actually shown to cause autism among a number of other issues. Comparing one person’s desire to contribute positively to the environment with anti-vaxxers is disgusting.
