I disagree that it is poison because life expectancy has gone up while people have been eating it. I view it the same as putting dirty gas in your car it just won't run to its highest potential. People are still living longer and are healthier than at anytime in history. People want cheap and easy with good taste. We have a genetic predisposition that favors high calorie ,sweet foods and salts ,don't blame your food suppliers for making what people want. The big push to Organics is mostly profit motivated. Whole foods yields a higher profit margin that Safeway. The framers that grow organic make more money. If you look into the brands of whole foods or organics you will see they are owned by the same companies producing the "poisons".
