I guess that I don't feel good about knowingly adding more toxicity for my body to have to handle by ingesting sprays and additives etc. that we know are being added to our foods either through the feed or by spraying. I know that by choosing organic and grassfed beef and local free range chicken and wild caught fish, I can feel that at least I am fuelling myself with food that is easier on my body systems. I don't have to have all the tests to prove to me that local (doesn't travel as far) sources and non foodlot or farmed sources are better for health. But then everyone has to prioritize their time energy and resources in whatever way works for them. This works for us and has evolved over time.
BTW I choose local if I know that they don't spray. It doesn't have to be the USDA label. In fact I am leery of that label as there are so many old Monsanto persons on that board now.
Be well
