Garden Addicted
Problem is they have been spraying pesticides for years and no conventional farmer is going to just 'quit' doing it. Their soil is wrecked and they have no way to switch over to sustainable farming methods... plus, most don't want to. Why? Because its more work!
I don't think the american farmer is lazy, I just think they want the easiest quickiest most profitable way in the tradition of American; Quanity over Quality. That's how america buys their food products.... cheap and a lot of it!
So they will happily switch to any pesticide or GMO seed or High nitro fertilizer if there is a promise of MORE crops.
Its disappointing... but like anyone who cares about their bodies and their families they will buy organic or grow their own. Its an American right not acting upon like it once was.
(I still think we should rip out everyone's LAWN and have gardens that produce some amount of edible plants, it would cut back on what is in the markets and the farmers would begin to think about quality again.)
