Ah yes... health discussion. As I sit here and sip my RC Cola...

- Food quantities have shrunk. Many videos on YT demonstrating that fact. The prices have not shrunk unfortunately. Is it Michelle "I need organic arugula ASAP!" Obama's fault? I have no idea. Could be. Look what Lady Bird did to junk yards.

- Fat kids. Lack of activity does not help. I would bet all the chemicals they add to food is just as much to blame. 

- Chemicals in agriculture. Awesome subject! Many herbicides and insecticides do not disappear. They end up all over the place. Cattle in a feedlot get feed from somewhere that uses a chemical on their hay/ alfalfa/ etc. Even though those cattle never touched foot where the chemical was used, they are now eating it. You eat the cattle. Guess where some of those chemicals are now? 

***Bonus rambling that has little to do with the OP.
Where I live, the soil is not great for growing things in a garden. It's all clay. So I keep a manure pile (horse/cattle/goat/etc.) and mix it with sand. After a year or so in the elements, it makes a better soil than the clay and that's what goes in the garden. Every once in a while, I notice a portion of the garden does not thrive. In fact, plants there die. At first I chalked it up to bad stock/seeds or poor weather. But the more I experimented, I concluded it had to be the soil. After all the work I put into it, how could it possibly be bad soil? Then it dawned on me. I get the manure (and sand for that matter) from different sources. I have no idea what those critters are getting supplemented with or where it comes from. I just saw fresh poop and figured I was G2G. Nope. I guess I would need to have my own stock and know what they get fed to be sure.

You are exactly correct. That is why we stopped using it. We have well water, just can't take the risk. Between the medications and the herbicides, it can be risky. And I have heard many reports of it doing more damage than good.

After saying all this, I have also been told, if you have the space and the time to compost it, for several months, some of the toxins will burn off. Can't swear by it. I have the space, but I don't have the time.
