My partner asked about pesticides on fruits and veggies in Quebec on her Facebook. People started to criticize her that she shouldn't worry, that stress of worrying was more harmful than any harmful chemicals being sprayed on the food and being absorbed into the food.
As far as they were concerned everything is safe. There is no danger from chemicals being put on food and us eating them. Stress was more harmful than harmful chemicals that kill small animals known as insects, and somehow us larger insects were immune from any negative effects of these chemicals.
It just demonstrates how people love the bliss of ignorance and view knowledge as suffering. It perfectly demonstrated the state of consciousness on this planet. We are our own worst enemies :/
