    Wasn’t aware there’s anything wrong. Albeit more expensive, I prefer to not eat pesticides. 🤷‍♂️

    Granted, I’m not sure there are long-term medical studies proving any harmful effect of doing so.

      Organic foods can and usually do have pesticides, and those pesticides are just as harmful to you as the artificial ones. For instance, Rotenone was an organic pesticide used for decades that is strongly linked to parkinsons and has since been banned in North America.

        Also quantity, most “organic” pesticides are significantly less effective and so it requires more applications of more product in order to get the same effect. Eating “organic” likely exposed you to more pesticides than the alternative.
