It makes sense that commercial farming would minimize costs and enhance production ad nauseum, whatever the effects. I think the best way--which I am working on--is to grow your own food from non-GMO seeds in a greenhouse. I don't like the idea of putting who-knows-what into my body. While I must still buy food in stores or markets, I try to minimize the dangers by buying organic and local. I definitely avoid produce from 3rd-world countries where they can use pesticides banned here in the U.S.. Although, one might even ask how much spraying goes on with banned substances.
