“Eat your veggies” is no longer synonymous with health thanks to the increasingly documented deleterious health effects of chemical pesticides and herbicides.
In the approximately 80 years of human chemical herbicide use, countless health problems have been linked back to exposure. There was the Vietnam War’s Agent Orange. There was DDT and associated obfuscation efforts. And since the 1990s, we have been increasingly exposed to glyphosate-based herbicides found in processed foods, on GMO crops like corn and soy, and as a post-harvest desiccant on others like wheat and potatoes.
