>You might choose not to eat the non-organic food but you can't avoid the Atrazine [1] in the rain

That's a very US-centric point of view. It was banned in the EU for a reason.



The principle of least harm.

But I was replying to someone who said they live in Central Arizona. Ironic that Atrazine is produced by a Swiss company and can't even use it in their own country.


When was the last time Agent Orange was dropped on an American everglade? (Trick question..)


While I see what you're driving at, AO wasn't dropped on Everglades and then banned.


The point is this: America cares less about the harmful effects of big-corp-produced substances than Europe does.


No, we just don't have the privilege of enjoying luxury goods like organic food for every person.
