Pesticides: Harmful or Naw
Okay so I now that I have a topic and it is set in stone, I did my fair share of research for the bibliography and wow. I always knew that our foods were processed and had a lot of crazy chemicals and other things added that I can't even pronounce but what I found was actually kind of scary. To start off, pesticides, yes pesticides, can lead to various types of cancers and doubles the risks of ADHD in children! Do you guys know how much we are exposed to pesticides? Not only in our foods but in other things like water, the air we breathe, all throughout our environments and communities. Heck, it's on our pets! Although, the percentage of foods with pesticides is generally low compared to other countries, it's still a problem that is in my opinion, very underrated. Even though the U.S. places limitations on the amount and use of the pesticides in our foods, there are still some that break the law and have more in them than they should. And get this, only one third of pesticides used are actually detected by the U.S. I guess no one is really 100% on what anyone is eating now a days. My advise to everyone is to practice digestion awareness. I really mean it even if I end up eating some Hot Cheetos later. Beware.

This is another awarness about our health that we will all look at and know that what you have observed is true and that these facts can affect our health, but like you said in your last sentence, "I really mean it even if I end up eating some Hot Cheetos later." We are aware of what food contains, but its not enough to change our eating habits.
