I have no problem using pesticides and herbicides selectively.
My problem is with large company lawn programs that apply
5 applications whether your lawn needs it or not.

Broad leaf weed killer contain 24D245TP which is a diluted form
of Agent Orange. Fungicides are absorbed through the skin
and imo should be used only as a last resort.

The old farming methods were good and very safe.
Crop rotation so different plants would absorb different nutrients
and not delete trace nutrients. Cow manure and winter rye as
a green manure crop for fertilizer.
Rotenone, an organic product derived from a plant, was used for severe
insect infiltrations.
Definitely healthier food, but then again our age span has increased too.
