   I, for one, would like some information to back up what you said.  Please
   supply it at your convenience.

   If you think this Encyclopedia reference backs you up, I am afraid you
   are mistaken.  Look up arsenic and then determine how many TONS of the
   stuff is sprayed on crops every year.  You will find that several
   thousand people have been "poisoned" but have not had the decency to die
   yet.
