It's bad enough that our pond is polluted by cattle upstream (ours don't have access). Shouldn't really eat the fish there, but many come by, fish, and bring home their catches. I don't want my kids eating or drinking chemicals, and I applaud you for bringing this info to the public.

I read some of it in college, but never finished it and just picked it up again. I love your suggestions for what we can do as individuals. It really angers me that some farms can choose to treat their crops with pesticides and herbicides that DO affect the rest of us by making their way into the ground water over time, endangering our food supply and the food chain. I have been reading about Rudolf Steiner because we have been attending a Waldorf Toddler class with our son and am leaning a little bit about bio-dynamic farming, as well. Would love a post from you about bio-dynamic farming. Do you have one archived? Thanks for your wonderful posts!
