Committee on Public Petitions
Consideration of Public Petition on a Ban on Herbicides in Public Areas: Discussion
Mr. James Walsh:
As I said, I eat organic because I am looking at research and studies and I watch different things. My father eats organic. That is how it started, actually. My father was always telling me organic is much better. I researched the difference between pesticides and organic and there are a lot of laws in place in the EU, even when it comes to food, that we should be moving towards organic. Even the hospitals should be testing for pesticides, by European law, and I do not think it is being done.
