Tell Mrs. Obama "I love eating pesticides." I don't know about you, but I prefer some 2,4-D for breakfast, some Malathion for lunch, Roundup for a light snack, and Atrazine for dinner. When I'm feeling naughty, I go for something a little more illegal, like DDT. Mmmm. BTW, if you aren't up for drinking it straight, here's a tip for getting more pesticide through your food: Go for foods higher up in the food chain. It's called bioaccumulation. There might be very low levels of a pesticide in a crop of corn, but the flesh of a cow eating that corn or the butter made with the milk it produces will have much more concentrated levels of the same pesticide. Yum! Gonna have to wash down all of that deliciousness with some ammonia fertilizer.
At least... that seems to be the message of the infamous CropLife Association, the same group of dumbasses that I exposed for writing Michelle Obama once and pleading with her to soak her veggies in poison so that her two daughters could grow up as cancer- and Parkinsons-prone as every other child in America. Hat tip to Tom Philpott for finding this letter writing campaign on their site.
In the meantime, Gov. Rendell of PA has jumped on the garden bandwagon, as has Vermont (VT's garden will be organic... no word yet about PA). Sorry CropLife. Organic is in for gardens this year. Pesticides are SO last century!
