Grant Me Strength

No, plastics do not leach plastic into your garden dirt.  Plasticizers maybe.  No, copper in the soil is not toxic, in those concentrations, unless you have a rare genetic disease.  No.... I'm pretty sure that the antibiotics in cow manure pretty much are gone by the time it's done composting.  Manure that you are putting in the dirt.  Not eating, right?  Right. 

No, I'm really not interested in your fear of 'contamination' and orthorexia, but here's a plant to enjoy.  Bye! 

(This post brought to you by my inability to be rude to a friend-of-a-friend in public.)

  1. Oh dear yes. I have that friend-of-a-friend thing sometimes, when I can't quite bring myself to start lecturing them on their stupid anti-science banana-brained nonsense. Blogs are great for letting off steam when confronted with those people :)

    1. Due to me being overly polite, this person thinks that *I* am also her friend. No, I am not. (She is, unsurprisingly, an evangelical, self-righteous vegan. I wish she should be struck down by a painful chronic condition which can only be cured by eating meat, if such were to exist.) Physics Bear, they had their lawn tested for lead, arsenic, and mercury. Their LAWN. "A little learning is a dangerous thing; drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring"...

    1. Next time a vegan-who-needs-therapy asks me to come over and help with their garden, the answer is not just no, but HELL no. I can only say "that's not how it works" in so many ways before imma snap and start beating them with a raw steak.
