When searching the internet for sources of information regarding the Health and Safety of Pesticides, be sure to read this FAQ from Crop Life Canada.
They indeed are an industry group and have a vested interest in their product. Why shouldn't they. Wouldn't you protect your own business from misinformation.
Keep in mind, Groups like the Canadian Cancer Society, David Suzuki also have vested interests in their quest to SAVE THE WORLD. These activist groups claim to protect us while profiting off of our donations to line their own pockets. Have you seen the millions of dollars in real estate David Suzuki owns. Wouldn't you think a guy like Suzuki is content living in a tent? 10th level maggot as he says it.
How many lives have these activist groups really saved? Very few.
How many lives have these activist groups hurt? Tens of Thousands are put out of work by fear mongering and skyrocketing price increases in the search for unproven, not any safer, alternatives to every day things.
Why doesn't David Suzuki and the Cancer Society advocate for a Cellular Phone Ban, based of course on their version of the Precautionary Principle? The World Health Organization and Health Canada both agree that Cellular Phone Radiation is unsafe for vulnerable children.
Because there is no money in it for the Activists. Their audience group, Parents, feel a need for their young children to be in contact with them at all times. The cellular phone is the perfect way to do this. Don't forget conveinience. Taking the risk is worth it in this case, even if it causes BRAIN CANCER.
What happened to the days of the payphone, how did we ever survive as children?
