Another side story is that the girls condition was caused by her mother breathing a pesticide . The mother was probably an immigrant her self that we want to throw over a wall. Also if breathing this pesticide caused this how can it be safe to eat?


if breathing this pesticide caused this how can it be safe to eat?

Because something going into your lungs and something going into your digestive system has two very different effects.

I'm not saying its good or healthy to eat pesticides, but that's a separate issue than "breathing it in is poisonous, so all forms of administration must be poisonous" isn't necessarily true. For example, your stomach acid often breaks down things.

Having said that, I am of the general opinion that we shouldn't be consuming pesticides.
