Scrapking, i kinda agree with you, but on one point, with all pesticide & ogm, i am not sure they more safe than meat actually.

A Study in my country show 40% of the populate have pesticide permantly in blood atm...

Anyway i eat meat 1x per week and its enough ^^

Pesticides accumulate up the food chain, so when you eat an animal you're getting pesticides and herbicides it was directly exposed to, plus what it retained from the grain and other food it ate.  So there's no way that meat is safer on that point.  And of course, there are pesticide and GMO-free plant-based foods (so-called "organic" produce).
