Yeah I agree organic pesticides are just as dumb. Bioengineering pesticides into your food takes the cake though, you can't even wash it off. Not all organic growers use organic pesticides. I know several organic farmers and none of them use any pesticide, they accept the lower crop yield for higher quality food.

    You absolutely should be using pesticides. You are just wasting resources if you don't. We need fresh food to be cheaper and easily accessible.

    There are other ways to grow high yield food without using pesticides if that's your primary goal. Like indoor vertical farming in a controlled environment. Recently some growers have proven this is viable and profitable. Pesticides in any form are bad for the soil, bad for our health, and decimate the bee and bug populations, which fuck with the ecosystem. Wasting resources includes our natural resources, which are our biggest asset.
