Re: rejecting the word
You have got it right DQ. I also live by those rules, more or less, except for a weakness here and there.
Thing is, in order for you to come to those wise conclusions, you had to be a rebel who did not believe the FDA, the labels, the doctors... authority. You rebel you!!
But most people are a bit too insecure to give up on authority. They still say "if it is on the shelf, it is safe", and "If the doctor says so, then it is true".
You and I might have a good chuckle over that, but people really do think that way. Maybe there will be some new converts to our way of thinking now that this news linking pesticides to ADHD is out.
And it is not just ADHD - any illness that has a neurological connection could be caused by pesticide residues on food, such as Fibromyalgia.
