Tbh I still wouldn't trust it. "Decayed" chemicals are still decayed chemicals, almost makes it sound worse tbh. But still, if you say so haha

 
You -do- trust it.....don't tell me you don't eat...or that you actually know how whatever it is you eat is produced?  I'd shit a brick.  

But yeah even if it's not from that process of the farm, food has so much put into it that's harmful. It's so bad.

No more or less harmful than the food itself can be, in many cases.  Don't get me wrong, our model does some strange stuff...but it's actually one thing that we can have unmitigated pride in regards to.  Our food safety systems and organizations are the model upon which all modern commercial food production is based (and we're crushing it in the alternatives sector, my sector, as well).  The whole world has cribbed our shit...because it's just that good.  People sometimes don't realize that many of our issues in this regard (even issues we might have with post harvest processing) are actually a direct effect of our almost tragic overabundance of safe, high quality agricultural products.

Globally, it's not our cars, or our houses....or the tv with a billion channels that really engenders the deepest envy in others........it's all that food...glorious food. They see us fat and happy, and very fat..did I already say that (because they can't seem to say it enough)? It becomes the context of whatever other sleight they might mull over. We just seem so well off, while we're shittifying the lives of others. You don't even have to know anything about us, you can just -look- at us...ebven the poor ones who don;t have the cars and the houses and the tv, nary a single exposed rib.

(I'll talk your ear off about this shit btw, I'm a registered EPA pesticide handling trainer - a guy like me has to sign off on you before you can even buy the sorts of chemicals you worry about. They're federally restricted substances with a long and detailed paper trail and chain of accountability.)
