She just doesn't understand what the term means. When she says that she
won't eat it and I respond, "So you want to eat pesticides?" She just looks
at me like I am crazy. I also have witnessed many people in that age range
putting full trust in doctors and loving all medicines. They refuse to
believe that some meds can be harmful or have side effects. They're kind of
like... When we were kids, people died because we didn't have good meds and
now we do!
