Maybe this belongs in science, but I wanted to hear from the "my body my choice" antivaxxers on this story.
Do you know that the farming industry puts cancer causing chemicals into your blood stream and urine without your consent? Do you care? If not why not?

@ron-desantis saidAbout 20 years ago I smoked a cigar with my great grandma on her 104th birthday and she was fit as a fiddle regaling us with stories. Maybe nobody wants to be 80 anymore because their bloods been pumped full of ag chemicals their whole lives.
It depends.
If the chemical kills me at an old age then who cares?
Nobody and I mean nobody wants to be 80...
Look at our 80 year olds here....crazy as bat shyt.
Dying before 70 is the goal and 64 is best.

Ya old people from way back were more healthy.
Less processed foods.
More hard exercise.
Old people now are weak.
@ron-desantis saidPerhaps they're weak after being pumped full of chemicals their wholes lives from ag runoff.

@wildgrass saidDefinitely true.

I read an article that said fish have anti depressants in their system because of our waste products.
We may live longer than before but it's definitely not healthy.
@ron-desantis saidSince pharmaceutical companies are not legally allowed to force vaccinations (because we live in a free country dang it) then why are agricultural companies allowed to force us to ingest cancer causing and potentially life-limiting chemicals? Seems like a double standard.
Definitely true.

According to some states like California.... everything causes cancer.
People don't die of old age.
An autopsy will show something.
It's how we die.
Good god man...who would want to live forever? No thanks.

@wildgrass saidwhich company is forcing you to do anything?

@wildgrass saidChemical manufacturers don’t force people to eat fertilizers and hormone injected meats. People have simply forgotten how to find or grow their own healthier alternatives. Of course, anyone who decides to found his own self-sustaining commune in Oregon is going to be slagged off as a Marxist or an Osho-pervert, and therein lies the rub.

@moonbus saidPipe dream. Modern society doesn't allow us all to work a self-sustaining farm to provide for families.

@mott-the-hoople saidI mean, you can look it up. There are 4 companies that control 90% of production and distribution of all the ag seeds and pesticides.
which company is forcing you to do anything?
What this article shows is that almost everyone has it in their system. It's not avoidable, because these 4 companies have put it in everything. Even if you do the self-sustaining farm route that moonbus talks about, it's in the ground water and wild game populations. It's in wild deer. Wild birds eat vegetables with glyphosate in it.
I guess you're right though. They aren't forcing me to eat. I could decide not to eat.

Maybe these chemicals are why our life expectancy has drastically increased?
Ya eventually it kills us but most people didn't live a long life in previous times.
We live longer lives now than any other time.
Just a theory.

@ron-desantis saidMaybe. I still don't want it.
