Help me out People....

1) Why it’s okay to spray DDT inside of homes and huts in Africa, to stop malaria and typhus, but it was banned for use finally, in the U.S. in 1972, and world wide, finally, in 1985? (Did you know that eggshells are 10-12% thinner in the U.S. today than they were before we used 1.3 billion lbs. of DDT in the U.S.)

2) Why we used almost 4 lbs. of chemical pesticides per person, in the U.S. in 2007, when there are completely safe, effective organic pest controls that don’t poison the water, destroy our topsoil, and create a catalog of health problems, including birth defects and cancer? Our EPA and FDA says these things are okay. Why is that? I know all the excuses, but why, really, why is that the case?

3) Why we complain about food prices, global warming, destruction of the environment generally, when most of us have some land we could grow at least some of our own vegetables? (My 85 yr. old mother grows all her own lettuce in a couple of pots on her porch in a mobile home park in Spokane, WA.)

4) Why we buy the “Risk Management” garbage that our government, and the U.N. accept on our behalf? (That’s the excuse “Risk Management,” they use to keep their sponsors, the drug, chemical and oil companies happy. It means they decided that the risk to our health and our environment is less by using their poisons than by not using them.) Nonsense! There’s not one problem that isn’t solved already by completely safe and organic methods.

If you can help me understand any of that, please do! And then I’ll have a lot more questions about things I just simply cannot understand.
