I deliberately avoid products marked Organic, as it usually means tasteless and overpriced.

Often they look kind of ratty too.

Inorganic fruits and vegetables are the way to go.

Apparently crops need to be sprayed a number of times with organic pesticides when they may only need to be sprayed once with synthetic pesticides.

Sri Lanka leads the way.

Environmentalists are like the Pope over birth control; he’s not opposed to birth control, just methods that work. Enviros aren’t opposed to electricity, just methods of making it that work. Same with insecticides.

In a similar vein, it’s one thing for Savonarola or the Puritans to rant and rave and tell people not to enjoy life, but it’s a bit rich coming from the world’s richest. There has never been such opulence available to them in all of history.

To be fair to Savonarola he was railing against usurers, the precursors to slimy central bankers.

Imagine that.
People don’t wash their strawberries with soap and water because, well, people don’t like to scrub their strawberries with soap and hot water.

That’s not as bad as getting crabs from a cherry.

Remember when they panicked over the tsunami and Fukushima? Radiation was going to kill us all. In reality, no one died but at the same time, in Germany, many died and hundreds were sickened by organic bean sprouts. No one blinked an eye.
