What does that matter? If we get it from directly from plants we eat or indirectly through meat, you are still getting pesticides.

- gpantazes 8y agoWouldn't it be interesting if we didn't get the same level of pesticides through meat & dairy? I think it's worthwhile information to point out.

- jdietrich 8y ago>What does that matter? It's actionable information. If you're worried about ingesting pesticides, you might believe that eating fewer vegetables and more meat would be a safer option. The simple fact of bioaccumulation means that this would be the wrong approach.
- devmunchies 8y agoThe amount of plants a cow eats vs a human is a big difference. You'll be exposed to less pesticides if you just eat plants instead of eating the cow and plants. I'm talking about factory farming where the cow is fed large amounts of corn and soy.
