add tag: agriculture (and I think pesticides is too specific to be a tag)

Apr 7, 2017 at 11:38 comment added Alexander Rossa @rackandboneman Well, yes, just like many animals evolved carnivore traits themselves. Is that relevant to the large-scale industrial farming and today's meat consumption standards of our species? If some plants evolved pesticidal traits then great, it is their strategy for survival, just as other plants take on a different stance and maintain their place under the sun by being a sought-after food. This is a question about dumping a couple of million of tons of chemicals on a couple of billions of insects that naturally use these plants as food every year.
