Did You Know?
Throughout most of human history, all farming, cotton and otherwise, was basically organic by default: there were no synthetic pesticides or insecticides.
That changed with the World Wars and the first large-scale deployment of chemicals specifically formulated to eradicate life.
The descendants of these deadly chemicals were later applied to farming.
In the case of cotton, this is part of a war on weeds and pests that attack cotton. And, just as in any other war, many innocent bystanders, including plants, animals, and humans, are wounded and killed -- a tragedy that continues to this day.
Pesticides used in conventional cotton farming can enter the human food chain. Because cotton is grown primarily for its fiber, it is regulated as a non-food crop.
In fact, the majority of the cotton plant, by weight, ends up in our food supply. Cottonseed oil is used in processed foods. Beef and dairy cows are fed cotton straw, cottonseed meal and waste from cotton gins.
