Some years ago I bought some beautiful strawberries from a van at Mosta. After paying for them I popped one in my mouth and as I did so the lady who sold them to me screamed for me to stop.
Too late.
I had already bitten through it and realised that it had such a very bitter taste that I had to spit it out. I asked the lady whether the strawberries had just been sprayed with pesticide and she vehemently denied saying that her husband never sprays the strawberries but insisted that I should wash them thoroughly before eating them.
There is no need for pesticides but farmers have been brainwashed. They are convinced that without pesticides they would not be able to grow any vegetables. But their parents did not have pesticides and organic farmers are managing as well. I also can also confirm this because during the past three years I have grown vegetables on my roof without using pesticides.
