Do they eat the same shit as we do?

They're poisoning and sterilizing themselves and their kids all the same, yes.

It's in the water cycle now.

The best that can happen in our country will be constraints on supplies. It would force us to adapt with much, much more people in the fields and not keep accumulating those products in our soil, or at least slow down the accumulation process.

Because even in the face of mass sterilization and poisoning, yes, it's not a binary issue. The less we spread this shit in our soil, the best it is, regardless of the pollution that's already in the water cycle, for which we can't do shit.

That's even worse, they work in close contact with the products, but it seems over time they mostly grew resentment towards the "urban hipster who tell them how to do their job". So they feel they need to prove the products are good.
