Methyl Bromide Is Not Going To Kill You
Look. Methyl Bromide is not going to kill you, so just relax about your strawberries, okay?
Methyl Bromide is commonly used as an application before planting strawberries. The chemical is fairly inert and heavy so, when applied, it does not tend to drift. To make matters safer, a field is always sheeted with plastic to enclose the application. Finally, the chemical is engineered to break down rapidly.
So relax. Your strawberries are safe. You may proceed to eat.
The next vegan environmentalist who runs around, sobbing and waving their hands in the air while shouting out unintelligible inanities containing the words "chemicals," "contamination" and "eeyargh," needs to be shipped straight back to Mars or whatever other planet they originally immigrated (probably illegaly) from.

Hello,
Methyl Bromide exposure has killed people before. see here: http://www.1hope.org/methylbr.htm here: http://www.newsobserver.com/100/v-print/story/402173.html and here:www.inchem.org/documents/ehc/ehc/ehc166.htm
(there are plenty more articles but most are behind a paid firewall, however feel free to login to EbscoHost if you have access and search for it yourself)
its a toxic chemical friend, and although it may not be lethal is small doses, you'd have to be pretty much an idiot to actually advocate for your food to be grown in it. I don't get why you think eating food that's been planted in pesticides is some sort of act of patriotsim and love for your country, while people who'd rather not be consume toxins shouled be 'shipped back.'
and this isnt coming from a vegan or a tree hugger or anything like, i just happened to be googling around and came across this, and was struck by your idiocy. I dont have a blogger acount but my email is justicejohnpaulstevens@gmail.com.
Also, did you catch the irony of your last sentence?
