The
recent studies carried out by Robbins (2005) on pesticide food and water reveals
that Americans are becoming increasingly worried about the use of pesticides
and chemicals to grow food. The study shows that in today’s factory farm,
livestock are subjected to vast quantities of toxic chemical and artificial
hormones and residues are transmitted to the people who eat the their flesh and
partake of their milk.

The
question now come that in these states and localities in Nigeria were farmers
apply much, of these pesticides and yet such products are not tested what may
likely be the result. The fact is that most farmers are not aware of the
implication of using these pesticides in the environment today and in like
manner only few out of the million population of the world have the concept of
pesticide toxicity to the body (Mineau, 1999). Some important knowledge about
the long range consequences of ingesting these substances is that they are
profoundly terrifying thus the world is yet to witness the longer term health
consequences of eating the product of farm which invariably contain residue
from pesticide (Robbins, 2005).
