We never think in terms of systems and how our behavior impacts broader environment. And in solving one isolated problem, we create several others--known and unknown. Pesticides actually keep the cost of food cheaper since there is less wastage/shrinkage--but as this artcile points out it also creates wholesale poisoning for other players in the system. I am just not sure how we break this cycle--especially as it becomes increasingly an internaitonal problem. we cannot even get agreement in America much less to Chinese, Indians and Europeans to agree--yet viruses, birds, bees, fish--know no national borders and so whatever takes place in one area will eventually show up in another.
