Well, no. I don't use any herbicides or pesticides anywhere near fruit and veg anyway, and we live in hope that bought food isn't toxic.
Ive not read whether it is the method of application, or the effect on the plants grown in treated soil which is carcinogenic, but it is reassuring to know they are taking notice of results.
There are a lot of things that I don't like about the EU, that have come about since we joined, but overall, I like being part of Europe and the freedom of travel, our students studying abroad and the ease of working abroad plus security and food safety standards. It was better when it was smaller, but does provide us with a huge market for our goods, and we really are safer as part of a large bloc of countries. We are a tiny country and are no longer the all conquering beast we were in the past.
Thought we were avoiding politics
You should see the gardening supply shops in Thailand, they are floor to ceiling with every imaginable herbicide and pesticide and the equipment to apply it, with a little stand of seed packets in one corner.
