Not humored by opening session of Jan 22, 2015 Food Tank Summit a bunch of hypocrites drinking pesticides while bashing them.

​As Danielle Nierenberg opens the morning session she encourages all to grab their cup of coffee and return to their seats.

The first session entitled Recognizing Workers in the Food System turns into more of a bashing of pesticide use in farming than a discussion about food workers.

The hypocrisy in the whole thing is the panel and audience are drinking coffee as the science clearly shows that caffeine is a pesticide.

Link to excellent research project explaining the whole it in great detail.

So I ask Food Tank people which is it. Do you condemn or endorse pesticide use to improve human health and the planet?
