The most important thing we can do is tell the kids!
When did killing bugs become more important than human health? I guess when it became so profitable to do so, and so easy to fool the consumer who is far too distracted by such important issues as Justin Bieber and Oscar Pistorius to notice such trivial matters.
Until searching/reading for info about starter veggie/herb plants, I didn't think 'they' were allowed to put systemics on food. I don't use any chems, so don't know much about them, but was under the VERY MISTAKEN impression that if I wash or, better yet, peel fruits/veggies, what was left inside was chemical free.
'Organic' may soon become a cloudy, confusing issue (as if it's crystal clear at present.) 'They' are always trying to get the standards relaxed. 'They' are also buying the organic companies:

California had a referendum which, if passed, would have required foods containing GMO ingredients to say so on the label. Forty-five million $$$$'s were spent to defeat this, though such labeling is required in most other countries, even China!

I want to watch the CEO of Monsanto eating this crap they're peddling. I'd go all-in that he/she doesn't ever do that. Like that scene in Erin Brockovich where she says, "We brought that water in special for you folks."
As far as I can tell, the FDA and Monsanto are the same thing, with the EPA in their back pocket. Pick your source:

This brings to mind a discussion I saw on facebook about whether there should be restrictions on what people can use food stamps for. "Only healthy food" was the general consensus, but that fell apart when trying to define that. It couldn't be agreed that the produce section provided significant improvement over the cereal or chip aisle. The meat? Well, the corporate cows, chickens, and pigs are eating tons of GMO corn and soy, and (hope you have a strong stomach) their own 'scraps' among other (what should be) unthinkable stuff.
