Pesticides in the Food Chain

This article speakes mainly about the pervasiveness of pesticides. Throwing in cool facts like, two and a half million tons of industrial pestacides are used annually around the world, the majority of which end up in our food and water sources. Or the fact that when herbacides and pestacides were invented, 37% of our crops were being destroyed by pests, now, 57 years later that percentage has not been reduced, but actually has risen. If this is true, why are we putting the future of our planet at risk?
