So I watched this webinar & have a few thoughts.

Incoming mega🧵 on #Medicine & #ModernAg

Buckle up. At the dawn of the 20th century life expectancy for Americans hovered around 45 years of age.

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."

Aflatoxin plays a major role in the development of liver cancer world-wide.

The conventional wisdom was that this was better for human and planetary health. 1/ So how did this unfold?

@CDCEnvironment @PEHSUnational Imagine a life without #pesticides!

Are you claiming it is better for kids to be exposed to lice, fleas, ticks & the diseases they transmit from rats to children?

Datura residues can make kids hallucinate & have a heat stroke-like syndrome!

#herbicides control toxic weeds so you don’t have to worry about them in your veggies!
