“Stop messing with our food”

A Daily Express reader responds to the National Farmers’ Union’s letter about measures the government has taken to prevent bystander exposure to pesticide spraying. Sophie Mepham writes, “I would like to know why so much is done at the spraying stage to protect us when we end up ingesting the very chemicals Mr Clark says farmers try to protect us from. The Government, farming and food production industries need to wake up to the use of these potentially dangerous chemicals on our everyday food and their impact on our health. It is no surprise that the organic food market is becoming increasingly popular. Stop messing with our food.”
