OK, no sweat. If you want more pesticides on your food then buy russion
foodstuffs and cotton. 

If you want less, then support rr-cropping.

If you want none then buy organic.

You have complete choice, so I guess you aren't complaining, are you?

[NB Still waiting for someone to quote a death due to properly handled
pesticides.]
