>>13903983If you think ANY animal product isn't pumped full of antibiotics and hormones, and ANY plant product is pumped full of pesticides and petroleum fertilizers, you're an ignorant morons. Even "organic" farmers have been caught admitting they use chemicals.
If you don't grow it, yourself, it's contaminated. And subsistence farming is a full-time job that requires about an acre of fertile land per person. Hardly anyone can do that, even if they wanted to.
