These pesticides are a bit like the magical Chernobyl radioactive cloud, which, thanks to some miraculous high pressure and low pressures zones, neatly avoided some countries by flowing along their borders.

Here, the pesticides are magically contained by our stomach acids, and never pass the gut barrier to enter our bodies, making them absolutely safe.

That’s a stupid comparison because country borders don’t have physical differences.

The stomach is nothing like the lungs. Inhale a glass of water and let us know how fake that difference is.

The produce you buy at safeway comes from all over the place and spraying sometimes is done with a a crop-dusting air plane.

Nobody claims they are contained in food. Just possibly less absorbable than via lungs.
