To get away from potentially chemically-tainted meat, I became a vegetarian.
Occasionally I buy free-range poultry for my husband, but I consume veggies,
grains and beans --all grown by the organic method.
When I occasionally eat chemically produced crops, I get an immediate sore
throat.. In addition, they just don't compare in flavor which is why I suspect
the insects won't eat them either!!! Nothing compares with organically
produced agriculture!!
