Also bear in mind that you can deal with bacteria on food by washing it, cooking it peeling it etc.

And if a few bugs are left then we have evolved an immune system to be able to cope with many of them.

Chemicals such as pesticides, fungicides however are much more difficult to deal with, especially the systemic ones, you can't wash them off or denature them by cooking. And we certainly haven't evolved a way to deal with many of the bio accumulators.

I'd rather take my chances with a few E coli, (which are crawling all over us all anyway).
